We have been in a war since 2001 and it has been one of the longest wars in U.S. history and i hardly know anything about it. Nobody ever really talks about it and I haven’t learned anything about it. My goal with this is to find out what people have been saying about the war and especially about what the government has been saying.
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/07/magazine/why-are-we-in-iraq-and-liberia-and-afghanistan.html?scp=1&sq=why%20we’re%20in%20iraq&st=cse
In the article it says that the soldiers didn’t know what they were getting into and they wondered if the president even knew. The Iraq soldiers ambush the americans using guerilla warfare. The article says the war was never to prevent the use of weapons of mass destruction but consolidating american power in the arab nations. Iraq maybe a place for america which Afghanistan was for the soviet union to fight against Islamic jihad. In the article it also says that there has hardly ever been a year that american soldiers have not been overseas. This article in the New York Times is very long and should be a crucial piece in my research paper.
Questions:
What are the main reasons we are in Iraq?
What do the people think about the war.
What is actually going on in Iraq, and what are some of the things we are doing.
