Autobiography
As I came into school on the morning of Friday 21st March, after a badminton lesson at the leisure centre, I heard talk of a war protest to take place during the end of lunch and throughout the afternoon. At first I was unsure of the time and place but soon found out the facts from friends.
The school was following other schools and organisations that had already protested against the war in Iraq that started on the 19th March after a long build up to the event, with troops and aid being sent out.
When the count down to war was over and the war had officially started, many people throughout the world wee opposed to the war – this was because people did not agree with the choice that George Bush and Tony Blair had made people have ask why bring Great Britain into it? The reason is because we are allies of America we stick by them and follow their actions. The purpose of the war was to disarm Saddam Hussium – the leader of Iraq. Troops were also sent in to rid Iraq of suspected nuclear weapons – which Saddam had denied having, as he had said that they had already been destroyed. By the troops entering Iraq fighting would take place on ground and bombs being dropped from aeroplanes in the air, killing innocent civilians in the process.
