The current war has not affected me much besides
frequently seeing things on TV about it. Though almost everyone I know knows someone who is either in Afghanistan or
died in battle which is pretty depressing. I believe that what Obama has done
to defeat many al Qaeda leaders with the beginning help of President George W.
Bush was a huge success for the American people and now that 20 of the 30 big
al Qaeda leaders are dead, it is only smart to start withdrawing troops from Afghanistan.
To me, it does make sense to keep some troops in Afghanistan to keep peace among
the country. I agree with President Barack Obama on keeping strong
relationships with other countries like Israel by committing to its security
and really focusing on Asia Pacific because of its potential for future growth.
Sometimes I do think the U.S. gets too involved in other country’s problems,
which just ends up causing more harm than good for us. I don’t know if this is
possible or not but I’m sure there are situations in which the U.S. can back
off a little bit. Honestly, it’s not the United States’ job to make sure there
is peace and safety among all countries and I think sometimes other countries
rely on the U.S. to do so because we always have. I believe that we have a lot of
things to worry about and fix in our own country and to try and help out others
is sometimes taking on too much.
