Is it our war?

                The “Homeward Bound” blog entry, by Isaias Homeyer, is about when American troops are going to be pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan. He talks about how the majority of America thinks that the war is a mistake and want our troops to come home.  Like the majority of America, I agree that our troops should come home. I think that it was wrong for President Bush to disapprove the bill for the troops to come home. Isaias says that “The faster our troops maintain stability amongst the Iraqi people, the faster they can come home,” but I don’t think that stability in Iraq will ever happen because the training that our military gives the Iraqi’s is not working and they are still requesting our help. I agree that if our troops pull out of Iraq, then chaos may break out. The Iraqi people are scared of the extremists and do not know how to deal with them. In order for them to be free from the extremists, they need to understand that they will have to suffer casualties and be willing to fight on their own to if they want to succeed. I do not believe that this is our war, and we should not interfere with other countries problems, when we have many of our own that we should be dealing with. I think that Isaias makes some good points about why our troops are needed, but even better points about why they should return home.
