The American invasion into Iraq has been a very difficult topic for American's to agree upon. The right for one country to invade another based upon unsubstantiated evidence and political differences is hard for me to understand. Even though some people would say that what we did was potential...

In 1774 our country was founded by men who thought that all people should be treated equal and fairly.
