During the recent weeks, people’s major concerns surround the war and its impact on the future. Some agree with the American government’s ideals and reason for an attack while others oppose it due to their pity towards the Iraqi people or their disagreement with the government’s reasons. The different views cause many riots, and in some cases, violence between people.

Before the war began, I opposed it with a claim that it may be hard to defeat the enemy and that it may cause a global conflict. In addition, the refusal of other superpowers to support the United States brought fear in to me. I believed that it's impossible to go inside Iraq without a lot of help. However, as the deadline for the war approached my views changed due to a better understanding of the conflict.

In 1933 the Nazi party gained control in Germany. Its goal was to return Germany to its glory days by pureeing the country from its obstacles. The referred obstacles were the different minorities throughout the country, mainly Jewish people. The great charisma that Nazi leaders had, entwined with the depression of the country’s morale, helped the fanatic-racist political group to receive support and eventually put the party in power. Persuading speeches affected many Germans that suddenly began acting in unethical ways. Without working too hard, Germany slowly took control of Europe; the Nazis murdered many Jews and people who opposed them. By the time allied powers began to fight, the damage was already great, horrifying and has changed the world in a negative way.

Therefore, in order to keep peace in the world, an attack on Iraq must occur. Iraqï nuclear capabilities and the insanity of their leaders may cause a war similar to World War II. Sadam Hussein's national pride and will to control the world may cause a major fight in the Middle-East. Countries such as Kuwait can be eliminated (for example. what happened during the Gulf War), while a new war against its neighbor Iran may cause many nuclear explosions that could cause a total chaos to the world and the environment. Also, Saddam’s nuclear capability may tempt him to hurt western countries such as Israel, Britain and the USA.

The new war may cause many innocent people, citizens and soldiers, to die (and believe me I'm VERY sorry for their lives and hope they can escape somehow). Yet, on the other hand, many of these people may be murdered anyways (Saddam Hussein is known for massacring his own people) and a complete chaos may occur. The war may not only secure many countries but it may have a positive impact on Iraq itself (citizen’s freedom, better economy and education etc.).

A war may be a smart decision!

May G-D bring Peace to this world!
AMEN!
