Innocent Death

    In war, there will always be casualties. The war in Iraq is no exception. I understand this, but recently, there have been too many unnecessary casualties. I read an article titled “Attacks across Iraq leave 36 dead and 128 wounded” by Mohammed Tawfeeq on CNN today about the war in Iraq. On Sunday, 36 people were killed, and 128 were wounded. Most of these were civilians. Car bombs and bombings caused most of these casualties. When innocent people are killed, it really upsets me. It makes me wonder if fighting in Iraq is worth it.

    Every time I hear news about Iraq, it is always about bombs and more death. It’s never any good news. When I stop and think about it, I come to the conclusion that it is time to bring our troops home. U.S. troops have been in Iraq for years, and the country is still not stable.  If they haven’t taken control of  the situation by now, then there is nothing we can do for them. Does it make sense to leave our troops over there to die?  It is not even our war. No, I do not like what it happening in Iraq. Nor do I think that we should abandon them. But what we are doing now is not working, and our soldiers are endangered. It just doesn’t make sense to me. Send all the troops end to eliminate the hostiles, or pull all of them out to keep them safe. No matter what course of action is taken, America needs to find another way to aid the Iraqis in their fight for stability.

English paragraph

     In the poem "I, Too, Sing America", by Langston Hughes, the tones of bitterness and determination show the author's dislike of his situation. He refuses to give up, though, and will achieve his goals someday. He is not treated as an equal human being, either. One day, though, he will be treated equally, and he will continue to look forward to that day.
