  1. WAR IN IRAQ MARIA DEMARCO

  2. Casualties in Afghanistan: DEATH TOLL IS AT LEAST 753,399 (includes both sides of the war) 4,362 American deaths 31,557 U.S. troops have been wounded Unfortunately the toll grows more and more each day Cost of war- http://costofwar.com/ Rising each minute.

  3. Obama is going to have a 90 day withdraw plan slowly taking troops out of Iraq and put them back in their homes. As of July, 2008, Obama's officially announced plan was to have all combat troops removed from Iraq in 16 months, by the summer of 2010.residual troops will remain to conduct counterterrorism operations in the country and region.

  4. QUESTIONS What surprised you the most when you viewed NO END IN SIGHT? The numbers of people that have been sent over and the rising death toll on both sides. I was also surprised that were are trying to inflict our way of life on a culture that already had one. All the violence was also surprising. Its one thing to hear about it..but to actually see it is a completely different story. What angered you the most? How troops were still being sent over even after we were told they would be coming home, and that it was never fully explained why we went t o war in the first place What information should every American know about the Iraq War? How much it costs the U.S. in lives and in money. What Questions Do You Still Have? What're we doing at this moment to fix what we did, and when troops are finally leaving to come home. Do You Think That There Are Lessons We Have Learned That Could be Applied To New Situations? There are multiple mistakes we could potentially learn from. Going into a country with no valid evidence..only a hunch. Constantly trying to force our government onto other countries. Not sending every one in at once. What Precautions Should We Take When Planning Interventions In Places Like: Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea? Taking into consideration that if we piss off one they are all aligned together to fight. We should also take into consideration that they have multiple different ways of government and living styles. They wont take kindly to someone coming in and trying to change a way they’ve known for hundreds of years.
