George W Bush Saddam Hussein
1,682 wordsThis essay is in defense of the current Iraqi War. President Bush's vocal critics state that over 1, 400 American troops have been sacrificed in the Iraq War. First of all, the word sacrifice means that a person voluntarily does or gives up something at his or her own free will (like a bunt to advance a runner in baseball or Catholics sacrificing and giving up chocolate for Lent). I dont believe that any of those soldiers that have been killed in the war deliberately intended to die or were sacr...

Avenging His Father Saddam Hussein
1,197 wordsThis I'll admit was a very interesting book that looked at what could have really caused the Iraq war and whether we really had to go to war. The book talks about the flaws with the reasons that Bush proposed for going to war with Iraq and why we haven't had a fuller victory yet. The book basically goes into details about the four observations that arise from examining certain aspects of the war and afterwards.
