On 9 April 2003, Baghdad fell to US- led forces. Many Iraqis are trying to rebuild their country and are hoping for a democratic future. However, many parts of Iraq remain at war as a fierce insurgency continues. Meanwhile, the Iraqi government and foreign forces try quash it .

Between February and September 1988, Saddam Hussein ordered a massive displacement operation against the Kurdish population in northern Iraq. Eyewitness accounts and documents seized from Iraqi security organs during the post-1991 Gulf War uprising and information gathered by international human rights groups indicate that up to 182,000 people were killed. An estimated 5,000 civilians were killed in a single day. Evidence has shown 270 mass graves across Iraq which contain the remains of possibly tens of thousands of people.
I feel that Saddam Hussein was a cruel, inhuman ruler of Iraq. The Americans invaded Iraq to preserve the rights of the people. There are two factions in the United States, those who support the invasion of Iraqi and those who are against it. However, the faction which is against the invasion are growing in size and popularity with time. The problem is that the conditions in Iraq are not improving quick enough. The country does not seem to be progressing and instead looks like it has not changed for the better. Conditions are deteriorating as each day passes. The American troops are trying their best to tighten security and to stabilize the country. On almost every day, there is someone who loses his or her life. As the conflict continues, so did the sophistication of insurgent attacks grow. Car bombs and improvised explosive devices placed at roadsides took an increasing toll on American soldiers and civilians. Civilian casualties are on an upward trend.. The killings include torture and kidnapping.
I agree that George Bush has done the right thing by sending more troops into Iraq although the death toll increases. To maintain peace and stability in the country, he was willing to sacrifice his fellow countrymen to remove the enslavement of fear and death on the people of Iraq. If there is no actions done to stopped the regime of Saddam Hussein, I believe that there would be chaos and war in the middle East fueled by Saddam Hussein's ambitious actions. This would cause higher death tolls and may cause an economic downturn as Kuwait was being invaded and was being plundered of every kind of valuables, especially oil.
On the other hand, others may say that Mr. Bush actions are inappropriate. Many US soldiers have died during the war and the sacrifices and sufferings of these soldiers are enough. In addition, taxes and funds of the U.S are being used more on the war rather on the citizen's well being. Many people in the States feel taxes paid are not benefiting them. Some may ask how the US can keep up its commitments in Iraq at this level for very long. As such some may disagree that the US did the right thing by sending more troops to Iraq.
