Botched Weapons Testing
In North New Jersey there was recently an incident that could have been catastrophic for one family. A large shell fired from the base actually fell through a families house and injured their cat so much it had to be euthanized. Although, I have always supported our military when it comes to war and even weapons testing i feel that there should be a greater effort on their part to make sure accidents like this do not happen because if it possible for this to happen what ensures that a worse accident then this wont occur.
Removing The Military In Iraq
Although, most of the candidates say that if they are President they will pull most of our troops out of Iraq in a short amount of time i feel that this is not possible. The reason why I feel it is impossible for a quick romoval from Iraq is the plain fact that we are so involved over there that if we do pull out quickly the Iraqi government will fall apart and terrorists will take over once again. I feel the candidates say it is possible to get more votes even though they really know it will take some time.
Suffering economy in The United States
In the United States our economy has suffered terribly the last couple years and is evident throughout the country. For example, the building industry has suffered a terrible blow and is almost at a complete hault. Alot of employees are being laid off because there is not enough since the majority of their usual customers just dont have the income right now to by for their services. I feel that this problem will not be solved soon and will have to most likely be solved by the new President. President Bush has tried to push for a 300-600 dollar rebate for those who meet the requirements. However, I feel that this will not be enought to jumpstart the economy and it will take something drastic to solve the problem.
Mass Graves discovered in Iraq
In an article on CNN's webpage I read that there has been mass graves found all over Iraq. Recently there was one found containing 20 dead bodies near a small town. The military stated that," it is probably about eight months old and that these people we most likely killed by Saddam Hussein." Reading this article just proves even more that the United States was right when they decided to take Hussein from power. It is our duty as one of the world's strongest countries to stop other mass murderers no matter how unpopular we become.
Religious Veiws in The Presidential Race
I recently read in an article sunday night that instead of the two democratic presidential candidates talking about issues like economics and politics both of them took the time the share their stance on religion. Both of them said that they are the type of person that beleive that religion is very important in our society and that they are both religious. However, I feel that the speeches made by these two candidates are not entirely true and are only using these religious veiws in order to take away votes that would usually side with a republican candidate.
