Question

Research the major news sources on the Internet and choose one topic that is causing problems for Americans across the country. Write a three paragraph article that explains the problem and some of the solutions that have been suggested. Explain why some people are in favor of the solutions, while others are not.

Answer 1

   Judith Miller was a reporter for the New York Times who wrote an article claiming that Iraq has nukes. The government used Miller’s article to justify going to “war” (not really a war when it’s just one side killing another).  She claimed that Iraq is going to use the nuclear weapons to hurt the American people, which made people, and rightfully so, fear for their safety. After the US started the war (and got all the oil they needed), they revealed that Iraq had no nuclear weapons, after all. The reporter, Judith Miller was put in jail for a short while afterwards for not revealing her sources when she published the article; today, she is blamed by many people to be part of the cause of the Iraq war.

 People are continuously suggesting that the US finally leaves Iraq today, however that has not yet happened. A lot of people are in favor of the US leaving Iraq because enough is enough and the war going on there hasn't been doing anyone any good. The US has been losing a lot of money on the military spending and there has been a lot of loss of life on the Iraqi side, so it's not benefiting any side. Other people that oppose the US leaving Iraq mostly do it privately because they want to continue stealing Iraqi oil or because they genuinely believe that Iraq is still a threat.
