Thousands of Iraqis suffer from the pain and trauma caused by the war, but the story of Samar again stands out. Rakan, Samar’s brother, was hit by a bullet in his spin which was the most vulnerable part of our body. He was seriously wounded in the tragedy, and he was
This is a relatively large budget to sustain a country. When it comes to geography, the fear of a total sanction from all sides is possibly overrated. Countries like turkey will mostly not oppose this step due to their large scale trading with the Iraqi Kurdistan region. According to figures by “Kurdistan Ministry of Trade & Industry”, 60% of the companies that work in the KRG are Turkish companies . Another argument raised is the factor of politics. People who counter the idea debate that most of
“A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.” What is it about this quote from General George S. Patton that some leaders are able to grasp and others cannot? Throughout military history, untold number of plans have been developed and executed with both success and failure. It is not the plan that moves entire Army’s across a land mass or storms a country’s beach head, but the plan that is developed during a split second between rounds cracking over your
Cynthia Enloe’s book titled Nimo’s War, Emma’s War: Making Feminist Sense of the Iraq War allows readers to enter the lives of eight women; four American and four Iraqi, in order to better understand the everyday lives of people, their struggles, and the outcomes of war by using particular stories of women to bring together issues present globally.

Despite the weather conditions America would still continue to attack the Iraqi army by the air, gaining power of oil plants and territory. Still very far from Baghdad, America forces engage in combat with not only the Iraqi military, but the
Edward slowly stalked out of the dark, dusty cell. A guard lay motionless next to the open door, his throat slit and his face drained of color. He had been trapped in the tiny room for months and he was finally free. He inhaled deeply, taking in the ancient, musty air. The corridor that contained his cell was dark, damp, and humid. There were streaks of red along the walls, most likely due to the massive iron deposits above his underground prison. Edward took all of this in as he crept through the
Insurgent technology though not as advanced as the military technology was arguably more effective. The insurgent’s use of ingenious bomb technology was extremely effective against the U.S. civilians, U.S. soldiers, and the Iraqi people. It was effective against U.S. civilians because it made them want the war to stop so that the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan would leave, which is the goal of any insurgency. “A bomb’s ability to destroy a target depends on two things: its explosive power and
order to learn and live. It amazes me how a country could totally be in the wrong, then turn around, and blame everything on America. We have nothing to do with Iraq. They chose to be an enemy, and we stepped in and tried to end the fight between the Iraqi people. Iraq left us with no choice, because without the help of the Americans, they would fall as a nation. The root of those problems exists because the people of Iraq don’t have enough money to afford health care to prevent and cure disease and
danger if the need to be protected with weapons is so significant. This will also cause other countries to believe they are in danger, as if they were about to be attacked. This year the storing of biological weapons by Iraqi officials alerted America and the United Nations. The Iraqi people then felt unsafe as well as the rest of the world, especially the American people as the world was questioning Iraq's motives. Why would Iraq store such significant amounts of detrimental biological weapons if they
