Lately in class we have been discusses wars that the U.S. has been involved in and their consequences. The United States faught in 5 wars in the 1900's and is currently involved with one now. The war going on now is a choice that the government has made. Many oppose the war but the Bush administration decided to go through with it anyways. Going into foreign countries looking for weapons is uncalled for. That should have never happened. Similarily, going into Iraq was unnessecary even though we were provoked. Bush should have restrained and let it go. This would have saved billions of dollars and thousands of lives. The years pass and it seems that not only are we making any progress, but going backwards in regard to how others view the United States. We need to pull out before more soliders are lost and our reputation is lost as well.
