The War That Will Never End

The United States is currently in the middle of a generational war that could be equivalent to the Cold War.  This is the kind of struggle that could take many years to put to an end.  Allies are currently fighting in the middle east to stop terrorism across the globe.  Many people are against this war and many people are for it.  Unfortunately, there is a tendency to underestimate the threat that terrorists pose on different nations.

Almost a year ago, anti-war citizens of the United States helped put congressional Democrats into power but they are still unable to bring any troops home.

Personally, I think this war is some completely unnecessary.  If I had the power, I would stop it all and just make the world leaders come to their senses.  Sure, people disagree over things.  The only reason Iraqi’s dislike us so much is because we allied with their enemies.  It’s silly, that’s like you becoming best friends with your best friends enemy.  You can still be friends with the both of them, you would just have to make some adjustments.  Unfortunately, it’s clear to us that the war doesn’t seem likely to end any time soon.   All we can do is pray for the safe return of the brave men and women across the Atlantic Ocean.

Think about it: Is there any solid way to exterminate terrorism? You would have to change the way people think.  People have hateful comments to say about almost anything, and there is nothing you can do about it.  Sadly, some of those hateful comments are towards a country, a leader, or a type of person.  Some of those hateful comments can lead to irrational things.  Is there any true way to get rid of terrorism for good?  If there isn’t, wouldn’t that mean this war we’re fighting will go on forever?

What are your opinions on the war that is currently active in Iraq?

If you had the power, what would you do to change things?
