What Would You Do?

I read A Day In Iraq (http://www.adayiniraq.blogspot.com/) and it was very interesting. The blog I read was titled The Crew of Alpha 3/2 written on Monday, November 13, 2006. This blog was written by Michael a former soldier who served in Iraq. The blog’s purpose was to remember those men who died. Michael includes the Commanders speech who highly spoke of the soldiers who lost their lives. He praised them yet didn’t realize that these young men died without accomplishing anything. Yes, the soldiers are in war fighting! But why are they there? Does Bush really care for the justice of Iraqis? Shouldn’t we try solving real issues such as global warming? (Just a few questions to think about) Seriously, how pathetic does his speech sound: “They died so others could live free and today we collectively mourn their loss. We lost some or our nation’s greatest resources, young men who had the courage to serve their country, young men who answered our nations call to duty.” I do believe soldiers are heroic for fighting for this country. But I don’t agree with the war. Needless to say with Bush’s intrusion. So many young American soldiers die everyday in Iraq. And for what? How many more need to die? This is similar to what we read in class Not So Quiet. People need to realize “war is dirty. There’s no glory in it,” (Helen Zenna Smith). It’s funny how many Americans speak down on Iraqis. Call them terrorist. Yet think about what how you would react if someone came intruding into your homeland…
