Hello, my name is Jamie and I'm here to talk about an important issue, the war that is currently happening overseas. Why are we still fighting in it? What is the sense? Why do we put our troops at such great risk when it doesn't seem to be worth it? Former president Bush got us into this war because he thought that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, but THEY DIDN'T. So now, this war is just pointless. I strongly think that President Obama will bring our troops home at some point; I know it's going to be a slow process. If I were the president the first thing I would do is pull the troops out. They don't need to be there. I really appreciate and support what they're doing for this country but they shouldn't have to have the burden of risking their lives for us. If I were the president, the first thing I would do is bring our troops home and allow an abrupt end of this war. I would then create jobs and try my best to eliminate poverty. There are so many other important things the government should be doing besides this overrated war. I'm not saying I'm anti-American, I'm more so anti-government. Sure, call me a dirty hippie if you want to but this is just what I believe. I do love this country will all of my heart; it's the best country ever. We have freedom and natural rights and it's great. If the war wasn't going on this country would be even greater and would have more time and money to worry about other big issues. One day I want to make a difference in this world. I want to make it a better place to live in. I'm a pretty lazy person but I would love to feel a rewarding feeling that I made a difference. Okay, I'm rambling, just wanted to make a point that this war shouldn't be occurring. It's been far too long for not such a good cost.
