the war on terror has been going on for more than 6 years now and the government of not only the US and A, but also many other countries like UK have been spending large sums of money. we hear amounts like trillion, billion, hundred million, zzzziiiiilllionzzzzzz, etc. and personally, i dont think the war is going to end in the next year, even with the new president.
Some may argue that the attack on Iraq was a wise choice, but it might have been a bad decision, one made only in the interest of oil possibly. The war on Iraq should be ended soon, before the situation gets too bad. Unfortunately, many US soldiers have died in this war (about 4000), and the US government has been heavily criticized for invading Iraq, like what Barack Obama said in a speech, "you do not defeat a terrorist cell that works in 80 different countries by invading Iraq" i couldnt stop laughing after listening to this! we have to stop this war in Iraq, i understand the need for military in places like afghanistan because that is where many taliban troops are, but by invading Iraq, we can see that the terrorists were able to recruit even more infidels than before.
BBC said "People across the world think the U.S.-led "war on terror" has not weakened al Qaeda and many believe it has actually strengthened Osama bin Laden's network"
