Brief on the Iraq War

Thesis: The US government should pull US soldiers out of Iraq immediately because the benefits are not worth the costs.

Reason: Many lives have been lost and the trillions of dollars spent on the Iraq war have accomplished nothing in Iraq.

Evidence: The total casualty count of the Iraqi war is 4168 (http://icasualties.org/oif/default.aspx).

Evidence: Not many accomplishments have been made for the amount of casualties and the money spent (http://www.usaid.gov/iraq/accomplishments/).

Reason: Who is America to say that the Iraq government was not sufficient enough to sustain the citizens and try to intervene and implement a democratic government?

Evidence: ("We are there to complete a mission, and it's an important mission," he said. "A democratic Iraq is in the interests of the United States, and it's in the interests of laying the foundation for peace." – G.W. Bush) Bush only wants to stay in Iraq for American interests and he is not concerned about the Iraqi citizens’ interest (http://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/06/24/bush.iraq/).

Evidence: Not every citizen of Iraq wants a democratic government and lives lost in the war are lost in vain.

Evidence: A democratic government in Iraq most of the time will never come to a consensus because of the Shiite and Sunni conflict.
