Keep the Peace

A new era for America begins with the agreement of a security pact with Iraq. Many months of negotiations paying off with a signed agreement to pull troops out of Iraq buy 2011. It is hard to tell at the moment whether this move for the removal of troops over time is going to be able to be pulled off without a hitch. Many Iraqi extremist are protesting the arrangement stating that the troops should be pulled out “immediately”. On top of the protest, a U.S. Marine and soldier were shot during a humanitarian mission north of Baghdad. All of these unfortunate situations taking place during the time this security pact was in the process of being agreed on. It seems to me that it is going to be a difficult transition for the citizens of Iraq who loathe American presence in Iraq. These nationalist are pushing for a quicker removal then the agreement has in mind. These complications I believe may pose a threat to the safety of American soldiers during this transition.

As I view into my crystal ball I can see many more negotiations in the future, some explaining the actions of Iraq, and some explaining that of America. The world is at a brink of chaos, wars are being waged in other countries and we sit in our homes in luxury not knowing of the situation that awaits us in the real world. It would seem our leaders have their work cut out for them; funny thing is it always seems that most wars are waged to keep the peace how ironic.

We are only Human.

What is the world coming to? Truth is whatever the world has become the hopes of it ever getting better in our life time are slim to none. There are not many people in this nation who know the difference between right and wrong. The only difference anyone really understands is right and necessary, which in most cases falls under whether benefits can be acquired from the necessary actions committed. These actions can be either wrong or right, but the action itself seems to always to be for greedy intentions. Humans are flawed in this sense; our need for self conservation clouds our judgments on morality. George Bush’s actions taken in Iraq are a perfect example of the differences between right and necessary. In Bush’s eyes he believe his decision was both right and necessary, but to who’s’ standards was the decision right or necessary. I don’t think I speak for myself when I say not mine. It was a decision made out of ignorance and with the lack of information I would say ulterior motives were probable cause.


In the article “IT’S COMING…” the author makes a reference to the concerns of the nation. The economy, the war, even the privacy of our own homes, all these are things that need to be dealt with, and it is the newly elected presidents job to take these into consideration. I have strong faith that Obama will do what is needed to re build our crumbling nation, and hopefully bring us back to our original glory before the Bush administration got their greedy hands in the cookie jar. As for the citizens, well not much can be expected from us. We are all just trying to make our way selfish or not we are only human.
