In response to the video i say that America did have the right to invade iraq and occupy the country for ourselves because the nation was not doing the right things to run its government and the leaders were really cruel and they attacked us so we had by all means the exact right to defend our nation and to keep that nation from becoming any worse than it already is. The leader that iraq had was really cruel to the people that lived in his nation that he was to be searched out and then executed in order to keep peace in iraq and move them closer to democracy so that way peace can be restored and they will be a better and stronger nation than they was before. I believe that iraq was somewhat responsible for the 9/11 attack which devastated our nation so much that our nation was all fuel up and ready to go to war so avoiding a war was almost impossible.
I think that our motives was the same as the book because we are sort of giving unwanted help to a nation for the good of that nation. But it is also different because the white missonaries are trying to help by maintaining peace but we are trying to help by using violence to force things to go our way. I don't think either side is better than the other because they each have different results. I think that there is a good reason for one nation to invade another is if that nation is falling apart and nothing is really going the right way, or it has a cruel leader then it is perfectly acceptable for a nation to invade another as long as it is for a good cause. I think it would be bad however if that nation was already in a state of peace and they are being evaded just because they want to have that nation for themselves and to steal all of their belongings.

  1. Nice response to the prompt. You made some excellent points in your argument. I especially liked how you distinguished between the actions of the missionaries in our novel and the actions of the U.S. military in our novel. Keep up the good work.
