The Iraq War

My Opinion
On The Iraq War
The war in Iraq is a horrible thing.Throughout the war manypeople have died.My opinion is that the goverment should take the soldiers out.
The people who are related to the people in the Iraq war wake up every day and wonder if thier loved one will make it through the day alive.To most of them it seems that thier relatives will never come home. The goverment just dosen't seem to care because every day millions of soldiers risk their lives to fight in a war that didn't have to be started.The soldiers fight to protect their country but half of their country is out fighting in the war.The goverment keeps sending troops out to war but what they really need to do is bring troops back. Send troops only where they need to be and ot anywhere else.
Some troops in the war sadly don't make it.Some do come home but with horrible injuries like no leg no arm or don't come back at all. It is a sad thing to say but it is the true.The war in Iraq started on March 20,2003.Some people say that Bush started it and others say it was Saddam Hussein. In some theories it was told that Bush just wanted to gain control of the Iraqi oil.In other theories it states that the United States goverment thought that Iraq had hidden weapons to use aganist America.
The execution of the powerful leader Saddam Hussein took place on December 30,2006.Some people thought this was the end but it wasen't. Saddam was hanged because he was convicted of "crimes aganist humanity" by the Iraq Special Tribunal. Saddam was the president of Iraq. I thought he was a dictator.When Saddam was hanged he remained completly claim and I always wondered what was going through his head.On December 31st Saddam's body was flown to his birthplace.
The bottem line is that the troops should be going home even though they wanted to fight for their country.People shouldn't even have to think about going the army thier should be peace.We never hear that word anymore huh? We need peace.
