10 Reasons to Hate the War in Iraq

I am AMERICA, The big brother of the world. All the worlds problems are mine because all of the world is my responsibility.

This is what I think of when I imagine how the American government as a whole thinks.

I also, am AMERICA. I am a citizen amongst many and we the people, that the government works for do not all think this way or support our governments way of thinking in this respect.

I understand that the American government feels that it should be in Iraq to establish a front for TRUTH, JUSTICE and THE AMERICAN WAY. They want to stop terrorism, dictatorship, oppression and play its role in the global community.

What I don't understand is why war seems to always be the final option and sometimes it seems, the only option, to bring about change. Protecting the morals of the societies of earth should be easier to do than war is.

I believe that under no circumstances, except self defense, is war ever a viable solution to any problem. War is definitely not a solution to issues that stem from the problems in other countries. When our country has so many issues of its own, why do we continue to ignore them and concentrate on the issues of others. Yes I know that we are all connected but does the means justify the end in today's world?

The world must take a stand but the world should also be careful in throwing the first stone.

Below are my top 10 reasons for hating the war in Iraq and my contribution to the denouncement of war in any shape or form except as stated above for self defense.

1. War is dumb for any reason.

2. War creates a loss of life.

3. War creates a loss of property.

4. An overabundance of resources are used and lost in war time.

5. Peace is obviously lost when there is a war.

6. Humanity in general takes a nose dive when war is prevalent.

7. Broken families or separated families result from war.

8. Broken societies and cultures are victims of war.

9. Abusive governments are expelled and replaced by other abusive governments.

10. Financial debt on all sides skyrockets unbelievably because of war.
