Two Wars

I believed Two Wars to be a pretty interesting story because it is actually a topic that me and friends of mind discuss quite often at random times.  I thought that the Iraqi Haider had a very good idea and reason to do what he did because the questions he asked are not just a mystery to most people, but if you have never been there you probably dont know the truth.  I think Haider wanted to hear peoples opinions and then try to give them some insite on what is really going on and what is really important.  It seemed like When Haider went to all the different places he kind of expected all the people to have certain answers about the war and what life was like over there, so that didn't really phase him at all.  the majority of the people he interviewed seemed pretty close minded and not willing to except the truth from a person who has been in the middle of it all, and i believe for certain people that it might have been because he was an Iraqi himself.  Myself personally believe in a lot of the question Haider was asking and the comments he was saying sense i am not a huge believer in the war, but at the same time i dont disagree with the people who have family and friends over seas and want to fight for our country.  One event i did find very interesting was the two soldiers who were together but both had very different views.  The one who had already been over seas did not want to be there and did not agree with our reasons for being there, but the soldier who hadn't gone yet was willing and ready to go to defend our country for any reason.  I thought that was a very interesting part of the story.

  1. I liked reading your post, i really liked the comparison about the two soldiers Haider interviewed you made near the end of your post. I liked all of the topics you hit on and I felt that mine was very similar in some of the comparisons i made. The only real constructive criticism i have is that there were a couple of spelling errors, such as in the first sentence you said "friends of mind" but i think you meant "friends of mine." Also in the third sentence you said "give them some insite on what..." and i think it should have been "insight".
    Other than a few small errors i really enjoyed reading your post. I hope my comments help.!
