Three reasons to end war in Iraq
War. What is it good for? Every day too many American soldiers die. What for? We have been in Iraq for eight years and have gotten nowhere.
The first reason we believe that we shouldn’t be in Iraq is that it is bad for the economy. We have spent approximately $792,248,500,000 in Iraq so far and the numbers keep going up. We are currently in a recession and we think that it would be better to keep the money here. Think of how much $800 billion could do to create jobs, improve our infrastructure and help our schools.
The second reason is that we don’t feel that there is a valid reason or point to this war. It is supposedly a war on terror, but is it right to fight terror by fighting and killing people? We originally went to Iraq because we thought that they had weapons of mass destruction, but nothing has been found in the eight years we’ve been there. We are searching for something that may or may not be there.
The last reason that we object to the war in Iraq is that so many civilians and soldiers have died and been injured. More than 4,000 American soldiers have died in Iraq and untold numbers of Iraqi citizens have as well. We don’t feel that the war is worth it with this high of a cost.
In conclusion, we don’t believe in the war in Iraq. We object to it because it is bad for the economy, and we don’t think that there is a good reason for this war. We also protest the war because of all the casualties and horrific acts. Death is the cost of war. Does America think it’s worth the price?

There is no military reason for these troop reductions. As the president himself pointed out, “We have ended our combat mission in Iraq, with 100000 American troops already out of that country,” and “in Libya… we do not have a single soldier on the
One of the reasons left-wingers voted for Barack Obama for president in 2008 was that they opposed the war in Iraq. The anti-war left is disappointed that Obama continued the Iraq War, escalated Afghanistan and started a new war in Libya.
During the Korean War, tens of thousands were murdered, and in Vietnam, Counterspy magazine called Operation Phoenix "the most indiscriminate and massive program of political murder since the Nazi death camps," perhaps exceeded post-9/11 in Iraq,
US involvement in the Second World War lasted 1346 days. US fighting in Afghanistan reached that milestone six years ago (June 14, 2005). America is fighting there, in Iraq, in western Pakistan, in Yemen and in Libya. Where next?
Ending the Not-War War
Political reactions were predictable. The left criticized the President for not sending all our troops home on the next boat. It did so notwithstanding the fact that Afghanistan has no seaport and that no boat ever made could transport more a few percent of our troops at a time. The right criticized the President for risking the “victory” that always seems just out of reach. It did so notwithstanding the fact that many of its own rank and file now want our troops home as much as the left does. That’s not surprising. As test results revealed recently , history is our worst subject. What Sarah or Rush said yesterday is more important to many of us than cataclysms that murdered millions or events that changed nations just a decade or two ago. Less than twenty-two years ago, for example, the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union collapsed of its own weight, ending the Cold War and a very real risk of human self-extinction. Yet most youth today, whether in the US or Russia, haven’t a care or a clue. When the hijacked planes struck the Twin Towers, a memo warning of just such an event had been sitting on the desks of President George “Dubya” Bush’s national security advisers for over two months. According to the Washington Post , “On June 30, a top-secret senior executive intelligence brief contained an article headlined ‘Bin Laden Threats Are Real.’” But the message apparently never got to the President or his attention. Why? Because National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice simply didn’t believe it. She was by far the most erudite and well-informed member of the Cabinet, but she had spent her whole career, mostly in academia, studying the Soviet menace and its risk of species extinction. To her, the notion that a tiny band of Islamic radicals could present a serious threat to US national security was incredible. President Bush himself had said, in the Post ’s words , that he “didn’t want to swat at flies.” Never mind that, even at that time, Al Qaeda was believed to have a presence in some sixty countries. Never mind that one of them , Pakistan, had and has nuclear weapons and was actually trying (in part) to help us. Never mind that fighting even some of them—let alone all of them—would have been far beyond our financial and even military capacity, unless we “fought” them by loosing all our strategic nuclear arsenal and destroying the world.
