Honestly, I was always convinced that the war in Iraq was a horrible and disastrous occurrence. I believed that people were dying for absolutely no reason and that the war on Iraq was not progressing. However, after reading this article I finally gained perspective on why Bush actually let these soldiers go out into another country and fight to save people of another kind. I now know that these fighters had a purpose and it was a worthy one. “It took [him] a long time to come to terms with my role as a soldier in Iraq, but with time, [he] came to realize that although the method was flawed. […] [They’ve] made great strides in getting the country back on it's feet and no one can deny that the Iraqi people will be better off now than they were under Saddam.” It is now clear as can be why President Bush and his administration longed for these brave warriors to enter a world in which they were unprepared. It taught them to become more courageous and strive to help other forms of ethnicity in the world.
In the work, “Not so Quiet,” it deals with a young girl who enters the war unwillingly. In class we have discussed how her parents perceive the war and what is actually going on from her point-of-view. However what was extremely different is that this girl was young and did not really gain the support she needed from her family and others no in the war. She was facing many gender ideology issues at that time and was not taken seriously when she told her family that she hated the war. I see here how this courageous soldier did all he could for the people in Iraq and gave it his all in fighting the war. He did his best and knew what eh was doing was for a good cause. Most importantly, this soldier has the world’s support at his feet. We all believe that one day the world will come at people because of these brave men who have risked their lives to save this country and even other ones too. “[They] have no choice but to finish the job [they] started. Anything less would be disastrous for the Iraqi people, anything less would mean that every person who's died there, did it for nothing. Wise didn't die for nothing.”

I agree with your new observation with the war of how its couargous and everything but i dont agree with the reason being. I believe that it is brave to face war for your country but i dont believe innocent people should have to suffer or even worse die because of it.
Our Army had no reason to even start this war, so what is it that they are going to finish? I do not think America will ever accomplish their "goal" in Iraq, it is a different world out there. As bad as it was there, we may think, we as a nation do not have any rights to go into another country and change thair ways, and this is exactly what our government is doing--and killing our soldiers in the process.
This is an attractive blog about what's happening in the Iraq War. I agree with what you said about the situation of the war, the feelings of the soldiers and the issues about the gender ideology relating to Helen of "Not So Quiet". It is true that all people need courage to fight on the war not only for your country but also for your family and yourself.
i think that u make a valid point that bush thinks he is fighting for the greater good, but we have to think about the pain and distruction that we have caused the iraqi peolpe and the torn state that our nation is in. leaving iraq is the bes thing to do for everyone.
