Middle East

December 13, 2006

Today we had another talk in regards to the Middle East.  I found it interesting that Iraq was not our biggest problem.  It was interesting to learn about Cheney’s oil company.  In this country, our main concern is money.  We lose nearly one billion dollars a day and I still don’t understand why it is so high… It is true when Alec siad

“It ridiculous to think that an American company would intentially hurt the U.S. troops and economy just for personal gain.” 

I did not know that there was a serious Arab Israeli problem. 


IRAQ

US troops should me removed from Iraq.  The United States has no reason to be there.  We found no weapons, there is no real dictator ship, Sadam will be executed, and there is a democracy.  The only excuse for being there is to make sure the democracy is secure.

 If our country focused its energy and effort from Iraq to a situation that’s really in need, productive things would happen.

This is true.  Sudan obviously needs more attention and we need to focus on the genocide in Dafur.  If we keep up with how we are doing now, and keep playing “Big Brother ” with Iraq, things will get bad.  It may not go as far as Vietnam, but there will eventually be a draft.

But the bigger question is, if we are going to leave Iraq, When should we do it?
