What is war? War can mean a various amount of things such as a contest between nations or states, carried on by force, whether for defense, for revenging insults and redressing wrongs, for the extension of commerce, for the acquisition of territory, for obtaining and establishing the superiority and dominion of one over the other, or for any other purpose; armed conflict of sovereign powers; declared and open hostilities. The US troops have been in Iraq now for over two years, which seems a little ridiculous that US soldiers are losing their lives each and every day for such a silly reason. I have many different feelings about the war, but there are both pros and cons to the situation, but only one way seems more realistic.
             Therefore, there are many pros to the war. I feel that having the troops in Iraq, the US is helping out that country. Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction which could harm the US or even his own people which he has done before. Therefore if our troops are in Iraq, they will resist the weapons of mass destruction and not only save the US, but other countries along the way. The US has helped more countries out than any other country and still other countries would like to go to war with the US. I think that the whole situation in this world about fighting wars is silly. There should be no wars between anyone, but there are people like Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein who are completely evil and would rather go to war with people. I don't understand why people want to go to war with the US when all we want to do is help out all countries and keep all peace throughout the war. Another pro to having our troops in Iraq is that the US is preventing the spread of terrorism throughout the world and it happening again here in the US. The US has also freed Iraq from a country ruled under a crappy dictator who treated them with disrespect and didn't deserve to be a ruler of their country.
