The War

This Picture is an Iraq war cemetery.

The war in Iraq is one of the most controversial topics in America right now. Even people that are in the same political party disagree on this subject. (Here is a link that shows that presidential candidates even disagree on the Iraq subject. This website tells that Hilary Clinton is in support of the war and her competitor John Edwards against it.) Some people think that we need to pull out of the war because it is getting to expensive. Others think that if we pull out now that everything will go back to the way it was and that it would be a pointless war if we pulled out People now feel hatred towards the President. Others just don’t care what he does and try to support what he does. Even though both of these are wrong because we elected the President, I think that the second choice is the better one because we should try to honor the person that is in authority over us. We chose to make him in charge so we should try to listen to what he has to say. We should also support the actions he takes when he is trying to do the things that are best for the country.

Our country has so many problems with authority because we just can’t listen to it. The majority of teens rebel against some type of authority but that is mostly caused by their parents or other adults leading that type of lifestyle. If our country could just agree or at least not rebel against people in authority so much we would be much better off.

The best thing about American Politics is that you don't have to agree with the President.

I totally agree with you. So many people are negative against the President and I think we need to show respect for him and listen to him.

Peanut, I understand where you're coming from but its been 6 years, I think the people have listened to him and it's time for a change.

It is all a matter of opinion here, so don't go off and try to change what someone else thinks! Personally I think the war has gone on for far too long, but where do we have to go? If we pull out now the 3,000 soldiers who died there will have died for nothing....and on the other hand more soldiers die there every day and there haven't been any big RESULTS over there for a long time. It is all a big mess.
