Alas, a new reason!

Since the beginning of the war it seems as though the Bush Administration keeps creating new ideas for invading Iraq and surrounding areas. We originally invaded Iraq to try to find weapons of mass destruction and when we couldn’t find any, the government came up with a new reason for being in Iraq. It seems as though we went into Iraq for the wrong reasons and now somehow we are trying to justify our purpose there.

Clearly, democracy works for America, but this doesn’t mean that it will work for other country’s governments. It seems as though the common consensus in class was that enough is enough. I hadn’t looked up how many soldiers had died in this war in awhile, and I was shocked by the numbers that were said in class. Sadly, people are dying for all the wrong reasons, and I believe that something needs to change soon.
