Commentary "The Iraq War"

I totally agree with Sara's point of view regarding the Iraq war, at first everyone believed that the war in Iraq was to fight terrorism and find the nuclear weapons that the government said that Iraq possessed but all of that did not exist at least the nuclear weapons, but even though we are the most powerful country in the world we cannot fight terrorism by ourselves its a big responsibility and by going to war the government got its self in a big pond of mud and they don't have the shoes for it. Before going to war president Bush asked support form China and mostly form former president Jacques Chirac but he refused and asked president Bush to wait and reconsider his decision about the war, but president Bush was pressured by vice president Dick Cheney and prime minister Tony Blair who by the way was his idea to announce war on Iraq.

Without the support of other countries we are now facing huge debts because we are paying everything from our pokets, while other countries sit and let America do all the dirty work. If this war is called "The War against Terror" than why are we the only once fighting it? other countries are affected by terrorism as well as we are look at what happen in Madrid and London for example. Like Sara mentioned in her blog those Billions of dollars that were spent on war could have been spent here at home by providing health insurance, education and many other things that we don't have the villages to because of this war. I remember when gas used to be 75c a gallon and now its $3.25 a gallon our economy is going down the drain, this war has caused nothing but pain and frustration it made the situation even worst, since the war began in 2003 I never heard anything good on the news about this war except for troops dying everyday, what a waist. I support Sara's statement that she made towards the end of her argument that " We are supposed to be living in a democratic country but yet are involved in a war that is opposed by a massive amount of the population". At this point I believe that the government has broken all the rules and does not listen to its people. Even if we pull out of war now it might make the situation even worst because the wound is too deep.
