No End In Sight Response

Maria Angelo

What surprised you most when you viewed No End in Sight?

When I viewed this movie the thing that surprised me most was how many people we still have in Iraq and how many deaths have occurred in both American soldiers and Iraqi civilians.

3,000 American Deaths

20,000 Americans Wounded

Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths.

What angered you the most when you viewed No End in Sight?

When I viewed No End in Sight, what angered me the most was how much were doing for the country of Iraq when there was no need to be there in the first place.

Strengthening of Iran has cost the weakening of the U.S military, and economic costs of over $2 trillion.

What questions do you still have about the war?

Why are we still overseas? What are we really helping in

Iraq? How much is the war costing

the U.S? Is the war ruining the U.S

Economy? Why is the cost of gas going

up? Is it because of the war in Iraq?

Where Iraq is NOW

DECEMBER 16, 2010. Bombs Kill 2 Iraqis on Way to Religious Ceremony. A spate of bombings killed two Iraqi pilgrims Thursday as they headed to ceremonies to mark a Shiite Muslim day of mourning. Police said four bombs hidden in trash cans killed two people in a procession and wounded six in the town of Dujail, 50 miles (80 kilometers) miles north of Baghdad. The casualties were confirmed by Dr. Munthir Hussein of the Hussein hospital in Dujail. Two more bombs were discovered and disarmed before they exploded, said a local police official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. Earlier, a roadside bomb wounded three pilgrims in the downtown Baghdad neighborhood of Karradah, police said. (Associated Press)

DECEMBER 21, 2010. Iraq Approves New Government. With a show of hands, a flurry of angry shouts and many unanswered questions, Iraq’s Parliament approved a new government on Tuesday, ending nine months of infighting that more than once threatened to throw the nation into a constitutional crisis. In Washington, President Obama called the vote a “significant moment in Iraq’s history” and “a clear rejection of the efforts by extremists to spur sectarian division.” American troops are scheduled to leave Iraq by the end of next year.(thinkprosstimeline)
