Hello everyone! This is LiLKuTiE7, reporting for the first time ever!
For my first article, I've decided to report on the topic that is on everyone's
mind: the war in Iraq.
First of all, Bush is being VERY hypocritical! Ok, ok, I know he thinks he's
doing the right thing by going after Saddam Hussein, but isn't he doing to Iraq what
they have done to us? How do you think the children in Iraq feel? They have to
suffer and lose family members because of one sick and twisted leader. I'm
sure you're thinking, "Well, what about when September 11th occurred!? We were
suffering, too!" My answer to you is, America had to suffer, and thousands of
innocent lives were taken. But by carrying on with this war, more innocent people
are suffering!
Now, I'm not even American. I am Canadian and proud of it. But this war on
terrorism is still very important to me. I watch the war on Iraq every day, and
more and more, I can feel my stomach in knots because of the fear I have of
having Canada bombed too. My friends have different opinions. One even said this:
"Well, if I was in Iraq, I would just dress up as some towel-head and shoot
Saddam!"
It's not quite that easy. Even if Saddam does die, I'm sure he has already made
plans with his two sons to continue with the war. I mean, seriously, why can't we
just live in a world where everyone is treated equally and with respect?
This war is crazy and you know it. So I ask you now, what is the point of war?
This is LiLKuTiE7 signing off...
Editor's Note: If you ask, "What about when September 11th occurred? We
were suffering, too!" I ask you, what evidence is there of Iraq's support of bin
Laden? The truth is, bin Laden despises governments run by non-religious
leaders. As much as we may not like Saddam Hussein, and whether or not this war is
justified, it's awfully difficult to actually make a "friendly" connection between
Hussein and bin Laden. Fact is, they're mortal enemies -- one of those instances
when "the enemy of my enemy" isn't actually "my friend".
