Tuesday Classes Post

There is a lot that I do not agree with when it comes to our current war in Iraq, but there is not enough daylight for me to examine those. I feel that this war is costing us way to much money, with money being used uselessly, but some is used in a necessary fashion. When it comes to the requirements of estimating a bomb attack, I feel that evrything they do is necessary, regardless of the cost. Back in WWII, everything was so chaotic and such a kill spree, that such an attack was just freely done. Now, if we were to just drop a bomb, killing hundreds or thousands of innocent people, penalties would be returned. For one, the UN may step in a declare it unwarranted and suddenly you have more enemies than just the people you bombed. Also, war is no longer the same. Troops are not huddled together in groups of thousands or standing across from one another to do battle, so it is impossible to wipe out an enemy with one attack. Lastly, I think the most likely reason for not doing a careless attack is the retaliation. Over the past couple of years, our world has endured nuclear terror to the point where some people believed there would be a nuclear war, killing everybody. If we bombed Iraq or some surrounding country in the Middle East, it is likely that one would be returned, with us returning another, and so on, until eventually millions of people are killed. The goal of a war is to defeat your enemy, but when it comes to bombs, care is extremely necessary.
