Opinion on the Middle East

What would you say is a big concern now that the elections are over? Concerned issues like immigration, insurance, and the debt that the U.S. is in, how about the decision on whether or not we should bring back our troops from the Middle East. To me, the big situation we are dealing with right now would be over our concerns on whether we should bring our troops back from the middle east or not. Many citizens blame Bush as a reason for our troops being over in Iraq but truth is it's not only Bush's decision. The congress actually can easily stop funding the troops and bring them back but they aren't. So why is it we only blame Bush and not so much the congress? What's the reason for our troop being in the Middle East? I'd say we are over there to prove a point. The point is to show that we don't just let others attack us and not do anything about it. For example, the how the U.S got involved in the Vietnam War was because of the Tonkin Incident. The congress wanted to act upon it and so we did get involved. This is similar to what’s going on now with us declaring war on “terrorism”. Terrorism, how would u define that word? It has seem to be defined in so many different ways like the use of violence and threats to intimidate, a terroristic method of governing, and the most common one would be act which are intended to create fear or terror. Terrorism is just a way to show you’re strong or just to be intimidating. There are other ways to resolve this situation instead of declaring war and spending so much money on weapons and such when we are at such a high debt. We should be using that money on studies, helping the needy, and so much more. Overall we should bring our troops back and find a better way to solve this situation.
