The War in Iraq Affects the World, Not Just a Few People
The Iraqi war affects mostly the United States. The president, George Bush, started the war on terrorism to free the Iraqi from Saddam Hussein. After Saddam was captured, he still had many followers. They are still doing anything they can to wreak havoc for the military personnel in Iraq.
The war in Iraq also affects the Iraqis. Our soldiers are protecting these people’s rights and helping to build the Iraqi police. The average Iraqi must all be wary of the people who are against the soldiers as he or she can be injured or killed in a skirmish. Some of the people who were sent to prison unjustly also fear being tortured by prison guards.
Whether it is a soldier in Baghdad or someone in the United States, the Iraqi war affects someone somewhere. It affects the world, not just a few people. |
Every time you open the newspaper, you can find at least one article about the war in Iraq. It is always about a building, car, or suicide bomber exploding, killing civilians and soldiers. The war doesn’t affect some people directly because they do not have family or friends in Iraq, but the Iraqi war affects the world.
Soldiers in Iraq are affected as well. They are there because they believe in protecting the freedom of the Iraqis. The soldiers are in constant fear of being shot, ambushed and taken as prisoner, exploded by rockets or suicide bombers or killed or wounded by many other hazards. They have to be extremely cautious because they do not know who the enemy is or exactly what the enemy looks like. They just wait until the enemy shows himself and take action.
The soldier’s families and friends are also affected by the Iraqi war. They are in fear that they will never see their loved ones again. Some families get to see their family members return alive, and some never get to see their loved one’s corpse. It is a constant and frightening ordeal for them. Most families of people in Iraq constantly pray and hope that their sons and daughters will return.
Other countries are affected, too. For example, when America went to war, a lot of the money went to funding the war, and not to buying and selling goods to other countries. Also countries in Europe have sent soldiers to help the war effort.
