War In Iraq: The Positives and Negatives.

Not all wars are negative. Sometimes there are small or big positives to why the war is being fought. This applies to the war in Iraq. Not only does it have a negative side, but it also has a positive side. It is negative in the sense that we are losing many friends and family members, but positive in the sense that they are fighting for our freedom and security. One major positive thing about this war is that Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. But one of the negative things that anger many Americans is that the war are that it is costing American taxpayers trillions of dollars. There will never be a fair agreement on whether the war should be fought or not, but we all have our own opinions and can stick to them. Whether we support the war or are against it, what we believe can make a difference in any way. Can we really choose a side? I don't think we can, but that is my opinion. We all think there are good and bad things about the war, but our opinions may not be the same as everyone elses.

With these many positives and negatives we may all be confused a little with why the war is really being fought. Many may ask the question: Are we fighting the war for our freedom or are we fighting just to fight? Like I have said, everyone has thier own opinion. Don't let other peoples opinions ruin or change yours. Stick to what you believe.

Do you think that the war in Iraq is more positive or negative?

  1. I think this war is far more negative than it is positive. I personally think war in any shape or form is wrong. And that it's wrong to send people to foreign countries to die. I know that there are positives to wars but just because there could be a positive outcome, does that really meant to obtain it, you must kill inocent people?

  2. Honestly, positive I guess.
    I mean yea, it sucks that our friends and family have to put themselves in danger, but they are fighting for us. If you want something to happen you can't sit back and wait, you have to fight for it and that's exactly what they are doing!
