American History Post
The other day in class, we talked about the war in Iraq and about what should we do about it. Many paople have many opinions. Some people say they want to retire all the troops at once to stop the american losses. Others say they want to put even more soldiers to make Iraq safer until they establish a democratic government. I say, that they should take the troops out of Iraq quickly. It was a huge mistake to overthrow the government and try to put a new one. What George Bush did there was make the country worse for it’s people and send many Americans to death. Before, Iraq had a stable governmnt with Sadam Hussein. Yes, he was a dictator, but Iraq was strong and there was order. However, George Bush had to go in there and take over the government using the excuse of Iraq having weapons of massive destruction and make Iraq have an unstable government. Now, even though Iraq doesn’t have a dictator, Iraq is in complete chaos and people are killing each other, along with the American troops. Just because Bush’s dream of having a democratic country in the middle East so that he can then have control of the oil there american troops souldn’t have to pay for it. The thing is though, now George Bush has gone so deep into the Iraq business that he cannot take away the troops immediately. They have to take the troops away slowly. First, they have to stop sending troops. Then they take the troops slowly and let the Iraqis deal wit their government. They should just have some troops to be there to make sure that there is no civil war or something like that. After that, if the Americans see that the Iraqis are making progress by themselves, they leave them. If there is still no peace in Iraq, then there is nothing more America can do. They have ruined a country so much that now nomatter what, Iraq is doomed. America should just leave and admit that what they did in Iraq was a disaster, just like the Vietnam War.

I agree with the idea that we should remove the troops, but why slowly? Having less troops leaves them more open to attacks. As they trickle out of the country, those left behind would be attacked. I think that if the President chooses to leave the country, then we should leave all at once. Not a half-felt attempt for a descision of this scale.
