Imagine if the world was such a simple place to live in. Imagine if we could do things without thinking a single thought about the consequences of our own actions. This planet would be greater than the theory of our heavens and none of us would ever want to cross over to the other side.

War is one of the most complicated issues this world has to offer and yet it is one of the oldest and most traditional ways to create wealth and popularity within the highs of the governments and monarchies, and yet there are so many people in this modern world that is against those that serve to provide the civilian population with their freedom to do as they please.

The Iraq war started under the belief that there was weapons of mass destruction within the country and ever since then the entire world has been subject to so many debates and so much hatred to the bush 'regime', that it has came to belief that WMD's are nuclear weapons.

So we invade Iraq, and obviously we find no nuclear weapons and have still found none to this day because Saddam did not have nuclear capability, and now we often laugh at the fact we believed this in the first place and many show anger to have been lied to by the government, however, we did find many chemical weapons and we have evidence of when these chemical weapons were used to kill thousands and thousands of innocent men, women and children in Kurdistan, just for the fact that certain individuals made an assassination attempt to kill Saddam back in 1988, during the Iran/Iraq war.

So now we are in Iraq, every day there are hundreds of attacks happening all over the country, against the Iraqi military, US and coalition troops and more importantly against the civilians, and there are still those that believe we should pull out now?#

What will happen to those innocent people that are currently getting killed? Without a superior force there to keep incidents down to a minimum level, incidents will rise and more people will die for the sole fact that the civilian population are not willing to fight for something we have became accustomed too and that we take for granted...FREEDOM!

Everyone in the world deserves freedom, especially those that have been deprived it the majority of their lives. There are millions of people that will never get to see their own freedom for the sole case of being ruled over by dictators in many countries.

Let's look at the British Empire for example, granted it no longer exists today, however countries that were invaded ended
