I cannot believe that we are now working on our last assignment of the semester.

I would like to give a little background about my paper because I think that it is an important topic to think about. In short, we see in the media a lot that that this war that we are in is predominately one that is negative. However, what about the changes that we have made? Certainly, in the eyes of Americans it is seen to be something that is negative because it has come at the expense of American soldiers but we have made positive changes in the war in the middle east.

Some soldiers have also returned with stories that they will remember for a lifetime because they we able to aid in these peoples lives, provide clean water, and ensure a safer environment. These are things that we tend to not hear about when we are told about the war. All we hear about is death tolls and those who have been wounded. Not to say that that information is not valid, but it would be nice to hear once and a while that maybe we are making a difference and we are not wasting millions and millions of dollars on the war, and numerous lives.
