Personal Views.

Personally, I have not been greatly affected by the war in Iraq. Fortunately, I have not had any family members or friends that have gone overseas to defend our country. All I know about the war is basically what I hear on TV or in the news. I am sympathetic for all those who have lost loved ones in war, but cannot truly feel how they do since I haven’t gone through it personally. It saddens me when I see the clips and pictures of those men and women that have lost their lives in war, and I can’t even begin to imagine the loss that their families must be going through.
I am not really knowledgeable about the war as much as a should be, and therefore cannot really hold an argument on my opinion since I do not have much information on our current position. I know that many people are opposed to it, and I myself also feel that there could be other ways to solve this issue. When the war first started, I was too young to really be informed on what was going on. Even today, although I am more mature and old enough to form my own opinion, I still don’t really know the details of the war.

I plan on voting in the upcoming presidential election, and know that the war is a hot topic for debate between candidates. To make a decision on whom I would like to vote for, I am interested on their views of the war and plan to keep myself informed by the time election day comes.
