"Yes" or "No"

The Iraq war has continued since 2003. It is the war that was started because of 9.11. The American world Trade Center and The Pentagon were damaged by terrorist attacks Public opinions became conservative and George Bush, the American president, ordered on attack to Afghanistan. The war has no signs of finishing. Why doesn’t it finish?

In the movie, there is an important line, “Do you want to win the war, or not?” The Assistant to the President said that winning the war is the real righteousness. However it isn’t true because not all problems are solved through winning. The defected nation will be regarded as an evil country. Economic sanctions will be a serious problem. What’s worse, many people will die. Even if they win the war, the world will not be at peace. It means winning is not right. On the other hand, there is no meaning that all of the problems are solved when they withdraw from the war. America will lose trust and be able to only bow before the authority of Iraq insurgents. Although the war already has continued for a long time, it will be a hopeless war if any issues will be not solved.

What we hope is not winning or losing. We can’t answer clearly, “Yes” or “No”. The student named Ted wavered whether he should do something to change the world or not. Actually we will never make mistakes when we do nothing. However, is it right? No one can judge it. We can’t choose both Yes and No. That’s why the war doesn’t finish. People should be interested in it more, and face this serious problem.
