Essay title: The War in Iraq

The War in Iraq

I conducted five interviews on five different age groups and asked them all the same five questions. I feel like asking the same questions would give me a better understanding as to how they all felt similar or how they all felt different. The questions are as follows. Do you think it was good that we went to Iraq? Why? Do you think we should still be in Iraq? Why? Why do you feel we are in Iraq? Each paragraph will focus on each of these questions.

Do you think it as good that we went to Iraq? Four out of the five interviews all said yes, in the beginning, which makes me believe that this would be the American standard, that yes it was a good idea that we went to Iraq, but this is how we felt in the beginning.

Her brother was then shot and killed at the age of fifteen while getting a candy bar at a store, after that her family moved here. She explained to me that when she moved here she finally felt sad. And again unfortunately that did not last long. After the attack on 9/11, she says that America as she saw it was no more. John, the interviewee that felt we should not be in Iraq said that, "it sucks that we have to take care of people in a a different country, when alls they did is hurt and kill our innocent citizens, people right here are dying, and no one cares." This is in reference to Hurricane Katrina.
