I could never put it better than my 13 yr old daughter who wrote this as an essay at school.... I'm very proud to call her MY DAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

would you like it if u had to go to war with another country? killing ppl who didn't do anything to you? I don't think you would. I disagree w/ america going to war w/ Iraq and these are my 3 reasons why. even though Iraq has nukes that doesn't mean we should kill them. one of my reasons is that killing other people doesn't solve anything it just makes you just as guilty as the other person. I don't believe in it 1st of all and second of all it's wrong!

For example would u like it if you were sitting watching t.v. and then all of a sudden u get blown up for something you couldn't control? killing is so wrong!!!!!! so go to the next paragraph and find out another reason why we should not go to war w/ Iraq.

My second reason why we shouldn't go to war w/ Iraq is cause think of all the children who would die before they even get to do their dreams, they would never even get the chance to grow older! Children who's parents are killed would be orphans and they would be homeless. For example think of your own familys say you were gonna be blown up and you weren't prepared, you couldn't leave anything for your children, and you would die. your child would not only be without a parent but possibly homeless too.

The third reason I don't think we should go to war against Iraq is because war is wrong. the reason I say this is because killing is wrong, especially killing people who haven't done anything to you. this is what war does. for those of you who claim to be christian the bible says "thou shall not kill" for the wiccans of the world "do as ye will but harm none" and for the rest well karma... karma gets ya good for good and bad for bad!

Bush is killing people for the wrong reason when he takes us to war. If we're gonna go to war and kill people then it should be for all the right reasons.......
