"War, good God, y'all What is it good for?"

A little snippet I found from my college years, oh how I miss writing papers.. A lump forms in my throat, and my hands begin to sweat. The seemingly rhythmic bursts of light coming from the television set fills the dark room. I can almost hear the cries for help from a world away. As I witness the senseless killing unfold before my eyes, I am paralyzed with the thought of what more may come of this. And then it hits me, I am looking at the city of Baghdad. Wars have been going on since the beginning of time, be it religion, love, or most often, greed. Much blood has been shed to fight for what one person or even a nation believes in. Although our government believes the occupancy of Iraq is in the best interest of its people, clearly our soldiers need to evacuate immediately for their own good as well as the people of Iraq.
