Iraq Survey
I went around a high school during lunch to survey a student and ask him about some questions about our situation with Iraq and the Middle East. I asked a series of fifteen questions to see what their opinions and feelings were for issues that can or will come up as this situation grows. Their opinions were similar to what I feel, but some aspects were different with my interviewee. The first question asked was concerning the US military draft. He said that he was terrified of the thought of being drafted into war. He is afraid that if the war grows large enough, that there would be a chance he could be drafted. I feel the same way, because I just turned eighteen and the possibility of being drafted is there. I am also concerned that if the war grows, that I could be drafted and sent to the Middle East. The second question asked was about homeland security. I asked if there was a fear that we could be bombed or attacked at home. He said that he was scared that we could be attacked somehow, but not by means of a bombing. He feels that there is no immediate threat to Ooltewah, Tennessee. I also feel that way, but I am afraid that Oak Ridge could be a target and that could endanger us in this area.
The third question was asking if he agrees that we are the largest threat to world peace. Our generation is new to war, and I do not think that we are quite sure what to expect. It was interesting to see what are similarities and differences were on this topic. He thinks that an American that would join terrorism would be crazy. My thirteenth question asks your opinion of whether or not war is the answer to the situation in Iraq. I think that there are terrorists here at home, and that we are doing our best to screen them out. He did not know the answer to this question, but I would have to say no that we are working towards a better, safer world. I agree with him, but I am sorry to say that there probably will be those that will join the terrorists here at home. He thinks that they all hate the US and there is a good chance. I agree and think that they are doing it just because this conflict has something to do to the Middle East, where we get a lot of our oil. Some of the vaccines can be harmful to you, and I would rather not take them if I did not have to. He thinks that they would, and especially if this turns out to be World War III. My interviewee said that he would not because he was afraid of getting hurt or killed.
