What supposedly started out as a fight for the freedom of the people of Iraq (we don't mention the nuclear weapons that weren't found) has turned into, even to the American public in general, a dragged out, damaged war that escalates into further damage as Mr. Bush is now trying his best not to make it look like a failure coming there in the first place. I don't know but I'm one of those who thinks that fighting for something better serves its purpose of wanting to see change than simply fighting against that something. So are the American soldiers really fighting for the people of Iraq anymore? If that's what they claimed in the first place. The Saddam Hussein statue fell and many people (or rather, shia-muslims) screamed with joy. Now they're screaming with terror and the tears that stream down their faces are not happy tears. They stopped being that a long time ago. So what are they fighting for? Twenty-eight people died today in Iraq, claimed to have been "terrorists" while others say they were civilians. Who cares what their title should be! Have we really gotten that far as to say that death and killing other people in Iraq is now justified as long as their "terrorists"?! And who decides that? Defines that? From what I've heard, this is a fight against leaving Iraq in what Mr. Bush has decided should be defined as a failure...
