In my first post, the war in Iraq seem so useless to me. But I understand that we are there to take out the militants and set up democracy. I do not agree with the methods we used and how we got in there, and I still feel we should have stayed out. Since we are in Iraq, we might as well stay until we set up a working government, one that will not fall. We started the war in Iraq, and we must finish it. Finishing it is not just taking out the militants and rescueing the harmed but to make sure the country basically becomes like a "mini-US", or as close to that as possible.


I guess what we read in class definately can sum up the ideas and feelings I have about the war. Just like Bartelby, I would love to stay out of the war, because well we went for one sole mission, which was Osama Bin Laden, but now we left him for Saddam. "I would prefer not to", as Bartelby would say, go into Iraq from the get-go, but since we are there we should complete the job. The people in Iraq are like the narrator. The narrator really want Bartelby out of his home/work place. Iraqis would love to have all of America out of their home and live peacefully without America, but they are attached to America because they need us to help the minorities against the militants. I guess war really does affect art and vise versa.
