More Death in Iraq
The US Military acknowledged that it killed 15 civilians and wounded four others Thursday while it was targeting alleged senior leaders of the group Al Qaeda in Iraq in a region northwest of Baghdad, 19 suspected insurgents also were killed. Iraq has become a place of constant violence and death. 8 more people were killed by suicide bombers who injured 37. We have succeed in creating a much more violent Iraq. We have torn their country apart to the point where it is hard to go a single day without a suicide bomb going off and killing innocent people. The leaders of our military need to come up with a new strategy that will start protecting civilans in Iraq. I believe that most of these attacks are brought upon by the presance of American Troops and the best solution would be to start with the withdrawl of American troops.

I agree. However, I think its really important to remember that there is a major civil war going on in Iraq with or without American troops. Yes sure, I do think that we aren't really making it any better (stats show that opposing groups in Iraq have actually banned together and put aside some of their differences on the common ground of hating Americans) but there definetly was extreme civil violence in Iraq already.
Alex, you bring up some excellent points. I agree that the American presence in Iraq is a direct cause of greater conflicts in the area. American troops are definitely not improving the conditions of such war zones in Iraq. I think we should get out as it seems America is already beginning to get stuck in the spiral of conflict developing over there.
