War in Iraq

Due to the war, gas prices have become considerably high, and the only people who seem to benefit from this are the oil corporations. While the rest of the population and workforce that make the backbone of this country sacrifice just to make ends meet. Gas prices have also driven the cost of food due to transportation costs. If things continue the way they are now we the tax payers will eventually have to choose between getting to work or missing our next meal, not to mention those with families.

It seems everyone in the world seems to hate the U.S. right now. Many countries are quite skeptic that the U.S. is in it for the best in Iraq, considering the fact that Iraq had no involvement in 9/11, and that no assembled weapons of mass destruction have been found to date. Countries who have once sided with the U.S. now want no association. Continuing in the War in Iraq will only bring forth such thoughts about the U.S. which will bring drastic consequences in the future, because of how poor the economy is right now the U.S. needs to keep good terms with the countries it trades with over seas. The last thing the economy needs right now is for trading costs to rise. The U.S. needs to show that pumping oil and terrorizing the lives of those living in Iraq is not the reason for going into war.

Pulling out of Iraq is the best thing the U.S. can do right now. I believe everyone can agree that this war is not doing any good for anyone. It has gone from foreign affairs and trickled down into the U.S. not only affecting soldiers and their families, but the country as a whole. Especially now that the war has hit the economy. The U.S. needs to stop interfering in a country that is capable of handling itself. The time is now to bring the troops home and clean up after ourselves.
