effects of iraq war on USA

In USA today I found a intresting article by Rick Hampson about the effect of the Iraq war in USA. He mentions that there are many psychologic effects of war. The way people think, feel, and act is changed. Some people say that the war in Iraq has made them pray and cry. The war has changed the way some people view their spirituality. Some people think it is more important now to have a relationship with life because of the death they hear about everyday in Iraq. Veterans have mental disorders because of what they have seen and experienced in war. War has also affected veterans by making them feel guilty for what they have done. The patriotism in the United States has been affected because people feel that what they have done is good and others feel harshly about what their country has done in Iraq. Even Americans who are not fighting in the war are also affected. "Rose Gill, 56, of Round Rock, Texas, lost her Marine son Steven to an improvised bomb last July in Iraq. She lost her job three weeks later because she was too distraught to go back to work." It is very hard to lose a son, father, friend, and it is hard to get back to normal life when you have lost a loved one. "Jim Murphy, 60, counsels returning veterans who have mental problems because of what they saw." The article says that some Americans don't think they have been affected at all. "A majority of poll respondents say they have not sent a letter, e-mail, or care package to troops in Iraq." Even though the destructive bombing is not happening in the United States, it can still effect the people there. In USA people can see the images of violence on television and newspapers. They hear everyday about "...roadside bombings, military funerals, shattered mosques, wounded children..." Hearing about these things makes people feel sad and depressed. People can feel helpless because their country is doing such harm and they have never felt the same harm as Iraq is feeling. Other people think that USA is helping Iraq because Sadam Hussain was killing the Kurds.

In the teen life wiki I have found interesting the following questions:
• Are there a lot of crimes commited where you live? (April / Mr. Fisher's class)
There is crime commited in my country daily, but whe don't know how much because the paramilitaries (paras) and the guerilla forces dump and hide the people they kill in the Magdalena River. The paras kill those people because they think they are in the FARC . The FARC is a guerilla group, and the paramilitaries are a rebel groups who think the government can not do all the things that are necessary to keep their country safe from the FARC. They think the government is too weak to destroy FARC. The paras believes they are helping the government by killing, torturing, and confiscating things from the FARC who are against the government. There is crime in Cartagena, especially in the poorest neighborhoods. I do not see crime everyday. I don't see people shooting other people in my neighborhood.
• Is there any way you think you can reduce the pollution and/or crime? (Ashley.M/Mr.Fisher's Class)

In regards to your question about reducing crime in Colombia, I think our government can try to reconcile with the guerillas and the paramilitaries. Our government is spending too much time hunting through the forests looking for guerilla and paramilitary groups. When the government police find their camps they have gun battles against the guerillas and the paramilitaries. Our government is spending a lot of time hunting people down and and the goal of these people is to kill police officers and people who they think belong to the other rebel group.
• Is it safe there for kids to walk on the streets?(Ashley.M/Mr.Fisher's Class)
Where I live is very safe, but I try to go with a friend at night because if I go by myself it is easier for people to target you as a victim. My father does not let me walk alone at night, he prefers that I am with at least two other friends. I would not feel comfortable walking alone through a poor neighborhood. Crime happens everyday in the poor neighborhoods. During the day my friends and I hang out on the street and we walk, skate, and ride bikes on the walkway by the Bay. I feel very safe when I am on the bay walk because there are lots of lights and people and you can see any strangers. There has been police there also, especially when there are famous people in town. When Bill Clinton and President Bush came to town the whole city was completely filled with policemen.
• Dose your community/town/city have a well orginized goverment? (Tyler and Dustin/ Mr.Fisher's class)
My country 10 years ago they were laws that no one followed them seens the guerilla was killing people and some people say why shud I followed the law the anwers is that the war is wrong you have to do what the law says so it easier for the goverment to make peace.

**I hate war**

Hello! My name is Maria Jose. I am 13 years old. My mom had cesarean surgery July, 7 1993 and I was born. I grew with my mother; sister and my father how work with banco de la republica. I am totally happy with the family I have. My sister is my cute little bunny how loves partys.I am proud of her and I have leard a lot with her.My mom is a 46 years old woman how look 10 years younger. I look like her mother.My father is columnist and dedicates his live to work hard and he teaches me that hard work is important in life.Some people say my parent looks like the teacher and the student.

I worried that this wars is not going stop. I don’t like war because people died. There is a better option that is called debate is not easy but shushed reinforced. Missed agreement cause a tagety thousand were kill in lebanon.Includig the soldier for the one the war started israel could trade him for women and chidren and the army would not suffer the deaf of friend.

Every day rape is more common now than the more of the victims of rape my know people that can be allon with the victim.There has ben case that man raped his girlfriend because she didnt wanted to have sex. In Zimbabwe girls in the nactional training program are been raped in the night and is they cry afterwards they were beaten with hosepipes.Other people dont report some are raped daily and are also beaten.In most case woman rape by people they now and are raped more then one time they dont report rape because they will get beaten in some coutries they are not in jail for few month and then they can rape again.

Domestic abuse in some places women are beaten,totured and raped by there husbands and some are tramua they dont now what to do in islam domestic abuse is not wrong. The dometic abuse envolves rape, sicolgical abuse and phiscall abuse.

I wish that the is in peace when I am 36 years old and theres no violence.

Monsters due on mapple street

The messenger of monsters due on Maple Street is that the most dangerous enemy is are selves. We destroy are selves by insulting other people, accusing, worst we make fun of other and scapegoat on other people. For example when the car of les Goodman starts they scapegoat on charlie and when they stared insulting Tommy an innocent boy.

I think that’s true. In every day life we see people kill other people because of religion. I putted simple in school we make fun of are classmates I rembered when we made fun of a friend we told her that she was dumb and awful.

In Maple Street they should ad more ironies, conflict and more tragedies. Tommy should be a teenager that gets ignored.

My Favorite book "Anna Still Here"

Altough you may think that only damage the nazis did to the jews was sending them to concentration camps wich killed many people and left a psicological damage to many. "Anna still here" is written by Ida Vos about a girl how was hiding . You should read Anna Still Here. Ida Vos write in way that emotivates you. It shows you the other face of life. This book made me cry. I feel sad when the nazis do something like that. It made me apresiate my mom. It is about a girl called Anna. After the world war two, she camed out of hiding. Later the things had change, for example: she was in the same grade she was. Also the food they eat, they did Have meat, milk, and butter. Anna’s family and her best friend died.
