IRAQ WAR

As the news channels on TV talk about the war in Iraq at least once a day, I think to myself what are we still doing there? I understand that to go overthrow the government, form a new government and bring peace to a nation is easier said than done. I also understand that the country is not yet completely stable in any way, but doesn't it just seem a little fishy? Many extremists like to poke and prod at the Bush administration, which has not done the best job, and they say we are more or less in Iraq for the oil. Yet clearly many people just don't believe that and feel the real reason is to help a suffering nation and to stomp out a tyrant. Yet as the news blares on I can't stop thinking about how deep this Iraq War thing goes. There are so many things that our government and our lavish lives hides us from, the harsh reality that the rest of the world seems to hate us for not knowing. I feel that we are in Iraq for Oil and maybe other things but to cover up these dirty secrets we have done a good deed by helping a nation and dethroning a tyrant. I am afraid that the more stupid "American" things we try to do in the world the more problems we cause for ourselves. I really think that instead of being overseas we should put all that money and man power to do good in our country because if one really starts to look around "America" is not all it’s cracked up to be. I feel we could do the same amount of helping with a lot less war and violence. I feel that families are sick of war and have sons and daughters dying. American is done with war. We live in the Americas where we are surrounded by water, do we need to still need to be fighting wars overseas, as a first world and somewhat advanced nation with no real enemies around us, it seems like a illogical idea to be at war.
