Social/Political Issues

April 15, 2004

            The question has come up during discussions on foreign policy whether or not the United States is currently at war in Iraq. Although the message being sent out to the general public is that we are not at war and that everything is currently o.k., I feel that we are very much still at war. April of 2004* has seen the greatest death per day average since the opening month of the war back in March of 2003. Not only that but the most Americans have died this month (April) then any other month and the month is only 2/3 over. So if the war is over, why are Americans dieing at such a large rate?

            On Saturday, fourteen American soldiers died and four more yesterday in an ambush. Eighteen people died over the weekend, but apparently they were just vacationing around Baghdad because there isn’t a war going on over there. We might not be dropping bombs and firing missiles but we are still shooting guns, taking hostages and causing a disturbance in another country. Some argue that the way the United States views war and the way other’s do are on two different sides of the spectrum. I agree with this only because we are such a huge force militarily. It is kind of like the 5th grade bully getting in trouble for fighting with a 3rd grader, when all he did was push him down. Sure the bully could have pummeled him but chose weaker tactics to send a message with out the same damage, but the presence and threat were still there so he was to blame none-the-less. So in some eyes, we could be burying Iraq as a country by dropping bombs until there is nothing left standing and because we aren’t, we must not be in a war.
