Our Moral Duty in Iraq

As a person who is very much against this war and eagerly awaiting the withdrawal of our troops in Iraq, this article really got me thinking. Many of the points that Powers argues are definitely ones to think strongly about and he brings up logical points, however, some of the things he states make me feel as if he refuses to look at it from both ends. I feel as if he is leaving out why exactly we entered this war in the first place. Things like capturing Osama Bin Laden or finding weapons of mass destruction, if any even exist. These are 2 things we have not accomplished since being in Iraq. Although he argues that this war is helping many people in Iraq, many other innocent Iraqis are dying every single day as well as US troops. Not to mention the money we spend on this war during a time in which the economy is down right scary. I feel that although he provides strong points to why we should stay in Iraq, there are also many points as to why we should not stay in Iraq.
