For the last few weeks, I have been reporting on ethnic conflict but it seems as if I have been concentrating on President George W. Bush’s encounters with ethnic conflict. Lately President Bush’s agenda has been flooded with meetings and conferences of this matter.
This week I searched to see what the latest event that is going on in the Congo violence but I saw what made me take a look back on 5 years ago when I was in the 9th grade and it was announced that we had officially declared with Iraq and our lives changed forever.
President Bush spoke about Iraq and the war on terror on Wednesday at the Pentagon. Even in such a delicate time for Bush and all of America Democrats accused him of lacking a strategy to win and withdraw when he used the 5th year anniversary to make case for preserving in a conflict that could have many more anniversaries. I can not really say whether the Democrats were right or wrong in their actions because I did not hear the speech. He remained unwavering in his insistence that the invasion of Iraq which began in March 2003 had made the world better and the United States safer. The anniversary harshly illustrated the divide between President Bush, the Democrats in who control Congress, and Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain, and those seeking democratic nominations, Senator Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. They all talked to different reporters at different locations giving their opinion about the speech but most importantly the 5th anniversary with Iraq and the war on terrorism.
