Bring the Troops Home!

Summary:
In this article they talked about the fact that they want to plan by next summer to have the majority of US troops out of Iraqi cities. The exit date could possibly be in December of 2011. President Bush has not wanted to set a time when the troops will be brought home, but in these last few weeks his thoughts may have been changing. But, another important factor to realize is that Bush has a say for now but it will be up to our next President. It will be up to Obama who wants to have troops home within the first 16 months of him taking office. Then there is McCain who does not state when he would bring the troops home. There has been many lost lives on both sides of this war.

My Opinion:
I think that we should pull out our troops from Iraq because there are so many lives getting lost everyday. I currently have a brother that is in Iraq. He is a United States Marine. It is really scary to have a loved one in a war and so far away. I truly dont think that war is going to solve anything 100%. I think war will make change for a small period of time, but as history shows we always have another war over something or the same thing. It never seems to end, all of this violence. By the looks of it, it doesn't seem to be working. So I think we need to find a new solution to solving any conflicts that we may have. I don't want to have to worry about my brother dying in the war, and having the fear that I may not see him again. So overall, I think this war has gone on long enough, and we have done what we can already. So we should bring our loved ones home, well we can.
