We as Americans are all too familiar with the mess that is taking place in Iraq. It is the unpopular yet enforced opinion that the Iraqi's cannot govern themselves, let alone create a lasting Democracy. Should America intervene more than it already has? Can we save Iraq from itself? It's not a secret that the middle east is ridden with corruption and civil disputes. Some have argued that it is not our place to try and create a democracy in a land where violence is prevalent and the idea of order and peace are foreign concepts. On the other hand there is a horrific genocide taking place; and if there is a chance that we can influence Iraq to organize itself and create peace, we should take that chance.
I chose this topic because at this point in time, it is the most important event taking place in the world. Our country is trying to take the fate of another countries welfare into our own hands. Also, there is a sense of scandal in the midst of all of this. I mean, it could just be a coincidence that we are at war with the most oil-rich region in the world, but i doubt it.

I personally dont beleive that its our buisness to go over their and try to show them how to govern their country. I Think that the way the want to govern their country is up to their government, not ours. I understand were trying to make the world a safer place, but America should just worry about America. The only reason why i could understand us being over there is if they were a big threat to us, which they were more so 3 or 4 years ago, after all of this time with nothing happening i dont think we really have anything to be worried about.
