i don't know what I'm doing for this project. I need help thinking of a type of industry. :x

pl0x?

9.11

Sadly, I hate to say that current events have never much interested me. And sadly, I'm still not completely sure as to why we are in Iraq. But I really wish I knew what this whole feud was about. Weapons of mass destruction or is it oil? Really, with all these conspiracy theories and no evidence found I'm not sure what to believe.

9.11 was a very tragic and sad day in our history. I believe it awakened many people on just what is going on in Iraq. Why we are there and why we are still there today. It reflects upon the many past tragedies our country has faced because of warfare, such as Pearl Harbor. I truely hope that 9.11 has brought our country together and peaked our feelings of nationalism. Although, going downtown and seeing Army billboards with parts painted over to read "For Honor. For Oil." sort of makes me think otherwise. Perhaps its only ignorance that creates these feeling in some people, perhaps not. I really don't know. It all makes me very sad though, that to some people it's almost like 9.11 never happened and its all a conspiracy but many loved ones were lost, no matter what caused this, oil or chance of weapons, I think we should in the least fight for those who died in 9.11 so that things like this don't happen again. Afterall, if there are weapons, we're all in for much worse things aren't we?

I hope this war ends soon. I do appreciate what our troops are doing. But I do pray they come home soon.
