End the War: NOW
The war in Iraq is one of the most controversial wars in American history. It has impacted our everyday lives and society. It seems we are fighting for no purpose. I think we’re going in circles, and not going anywhere. Yes, we’re helping Iraqi civilians, but the militias are still there, and killing our troops. We should bring back our troops and overcome any obstacles. Our resources like education, agriculture, oil prices, health care and economy are among the factors that are being affected by the war. We should stop being the “heroes” trying to fix other countries’ problems and start by fixing our problems first.
In 2003, U.S president George W. Bush and coalition supporters wanted to invade Iraq because of a presumption that Iraq was violating the 1991 agreement to not produce weapons of mass destruction. It was also assumed that Saddam Hussein had ties with al-Qaeda, but no evidence of any collaboration was found. Among those factors of invading Iraq were five military objectives. End Saddam Hussein regime, capture and drive out terrorist, obtain intelligence related to terrorist network, secure Iraq’s oil fields, and assist the Iraqi people transition to a democratic government.
Modern warfare depends on oil, because virtually all weapons systems rely on oil-based fuel for tanks, trucks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery pieces, airplanes, and naval ships. For this reason, the governments of powerful nations seek to ensure a steady supply of oil during wartime, to fuel oil-hungry military forces. Such governments view their companies’ global interests as synonymous with the national interest and they readily support their companies’ efforts to control new production sources, to overwhelm foreign rivals, and to gain the most favorable pipeline routes and other transportation and distribution channels.
