Finally the war in Iraq has ended after 8 years. 4 500 US Army Personnels, 175 UK Personnels, 100000 Iraqi Citizens and 10000 Iraq Army Personnels died. The Iraq War began on March 20 2003 and the number of casualties proved to the world that war is not the answer. Many people around the world including the Americans believe this war was fruitless. The was no main purpose for this war, after kiling Saddam the troops had to be send back immediately but that didn't happen. The cost of this war is said to be 520 billion dollars but many said it cost more than that. War isn't everything and I still don't understand why America insists the wars are to protect the safety of the country. Look at the Cold War, Vietnam War, Korean War and the first Iraq War, America say it was done to protect the Americans but look what happened in all those wars. America lost in all those wars, many innocent non Americans died, many army personnels died for nothing, many people behind the scene benefited economically, many families were broken and a President of the United States was shot in America for bringing the troops back. War leads to nothing but suffering. So why go to war, for the sake of egos and money, or to bring peace? All those war America participated has taught that Americans go to war for the wrong reasons and the main reason is ego and money Barrack Obama promised before he was elected as president, he will bring back the troops and so he has done that but why not earlier. Is this a ploy to win the hearts of Americans in the upcoming election or Americans had enough with loosing so many lives. Family members and love ones are joyful the war has officially ended.
