Opinion: Do you think that having American troops in Iraq is a good idea and why?

Karen Downing

(Advocate advisor)

“I think that it is necessary to help Iraq so that the events of World War II don’t repeat themselves.”

Sherrie Chagnon

(secretary)

“I don’t think that it is good having Americans in Iraq because I don’t want my country to be involved in any war.”

Ed Tucker

(junior high history teacher)

“I think that we should never have invaded Iraq in the first place, but now that we’re already in there, we might as well help rebuild the country.”

Chelsea Pickett

(7th grade student)

“I think that we helped them as much as they needed and that we should be going home by now.”

Whitney Elston

(8th grade student)

“I feel that we should be able to leave now that Saddam Hussein has been captured, and they should rebuild the country on their own.”
