War in Iraq

The first article that I read was entitled "Al Qaeda No. 2 : We don't kill innocents."Ayman al-Zawahiri stated that Al Qaeda does not kill innocent civilians they only target threats. He also gave an update on Bin Laden's health, by saying that he is healthy and fine but there will be a day that he will die and someone new will take over. One would question his first statement for several reasons. The first thing that comes into my mind when I red that, was what happened to Daniel Pearl, the journalist who was beheaded by Al Qaeda for no reason.

The second article that I read was entitled "Admiral: Iraq has troops, Afghanistan has to wait." This article talks about there are too many troops in Iraq, so Afghanistan is put on the back burner. I think that this should maybe give President Bush a clue that we need to pull out of Iraq. We don't have enough troops to protect and serve elsewhere cause we have too many troops in Iraq. I want the war to be over.

Both these articles are posted on CNN.COM. I think that they showed two different sides of the pressing war. One is the aspect of having too many troops in Iraq and the other is the pressing problem of innocent people being targeted and killed for no reason.
