The Iraq War and Bartleby can be both described as nuisances that seem to have no positive effect on anyone around them. For one thing, the lawyer tried with great difficulty to get to know Bartleby and help him, whether emotionally, physically, or both. The United States can be described as trying with great difficulty to help stabilize Iraq and defend her people. All this, however, to not much avail.
With the arrival of a new president within the next year, withdrawal from Iraq can be compared to running away from a big problem that cannot be resolved in any way, shape, or form. This is no different than the lawyer moving his office to a new location to escape Bartleby. It seems problems in Iraq will never escape the United States nor its allies.
My dislike of the war continues to grow but recently I have begun to wonder what the situation in Iraq will be once the troops are withdrawn. Will there be less tension in the Middle East? Will democracy prevail in Iraq? Will attacks carried out by insurgents increase once American troops are sent home? Obviously, I have more questions than answers but it seems the amount of questions increase as the weeks go on.
