My views

As a freshman in college, i have been exposed to a lot to the war in Iraq through the media and in class discussions. When i would walk into my father's room nine times out of ten he would have the news on and a newspaper in his hand learning about current events in the world. He would always watch about the war and listen to opinions but i know he always had his own opinion. If i asked a question he would respond with a question of his own which would sound something like, "don't you pay attention to what goes on in this world?" He always stressed how important it was to read and listen to the news, which was something that I was never really interested in throughout high school. When I went away to college I learned to surf news websites to find out what is going on in the world each day. The war in Iraq is a huge issue that is very controversial. I feel like we should find a way to put the war to end and come up with a solution. At the end of the day I think to myself that there must be a solution to this war and we just have to find it. I support the fact that terrorism is horrible and that it needs to end, but the war is going on still. Maybe after the new presidential election something will be altered with our overseas actions. Although I am new to learning the news on a regular basis, it makes sense to me the importance of being an informed citizen.
