War in Iraq

[Danielle]

Hey guys I was just wondering what you thought about what is going on in Iraq right now. All the war between the Americans and the Iraqis is really affecting alot of people, and is killing tons of people over there. Just wanted your thoughts on this.

Let me tell you a little story so that I can get my point across to you ok?

Once upon a time Sadam Hussein signed a contact saying that he wouldn’t be hiding weapons in Iraq, a few years later people from the American government wanted to search Iraq for weapons but Sadam won’t let them in, and so they presumed that they head weapons hidden in Iraq and the only way they could go and see for themselves was to start a war, and so they did.

What did the Iraqi people do to deserve being killed, and bombed? After all they had nothing to do with the “hidden weapons”, if it was anybody’s fault its Sadam’s. Well now your thinking why are the Iraqi people suffering. The reason is that George W. Bush took this as an opportunity to steal fossil fuels/money from Iraq, and wanted the war to go on for as long as possible so that he could take his time taking fossil fuels while Americas and Iraqis were dying. The war continued even after they found Sadam, Jailed him, and prosecuted (killed) him, and the war is still going on!!!

In my opinion the Iraqi people aren’t to blame because they’re innocent. The American military is not to blame because they have to do what they’re told to do by the government and I’m sure they would have loved to stay in their country with their family rather than risking their lives at war. In my opinion it’s Sadam’s fault and George W. Bush’s fault.

I agree. My brother is a soldier in Iraq. He says that a lot of the Iraqi people are really nice and polite.
