Well, as we all know the war in Iraq hasn’t been going so well lately…or at all. First of all, there are many sides, opinions, and feelings towards the conflict in the Middle East.
Some people think that the invasion of Iraq was justified, and claim that Iraq posed and still does pose, a threat towards the United States, and perhaps the rest of the world. And then there are the larger, more radical group of people that insist otherwise.
Those radicals believe that that the invasion of Iraq was a terrible mistake on our countries’ part, and again, other countries’ as well.
A few weeks ago, a private military company known as Blackwater USA, had been found guilty of killing seventeen Iraqi’s while escorting a convoy of US State department vehicles to the United States Agency for International Development located in western Baghdad.
Currently, Blackwater is being tried for these war-crimes and for a short time back in September, their license to “operate” in Iraq was revoked. As of today, it has been reinstated.
While some believe that the idea of having this “Shadow Army” in Iraq will help, others are highly skeptical in their opinions of Blackwater. Many see this force as murderous, and uncontrollable. What’s to say that this company of counter-terrorism doesn’t go rebel again, and shoot down another group of innocents?
On the other hand, there could much more strict rules directed towards the mercenaries themselves, and more harsh punishment.
Because the situations in the Middle East are unwinding rather quickly, more posts are inches away!
