For 5 years, America has been involved in a war that is unjust. As a result, over 4,000 Americans have been killed to support “Bush’s war against terror.” America needs to return home as soon as possible, which according to Obama’s estimates can be within 18 months while returning the rule of Iraq to Iraqis. This will not only end our occupation of this country, it will enable America to focus its tax dollars on domestic problems.
Whether it is just or unjust, America has become trapped in a situation in Iraq that forces this country to protect its domestic interests abroad. Thus, if we were to leave Iraq, we would be emboldening our enemy to hold out its attempts to destabilize this region until we leave. In addition, these terrorists would follow us home to kill us here. This culture of defeat would not only be problematic to our internal issues, but it would weaken our standing as the world’s leader in times of crisis.
John McCain and I agree on the issue of abortion since it is wrong to take a life. While I have issues with whether a woman who is raped or in danger of death should be forbidden to have an abortion, the idea of a throw away life society is morally repugnant to me. Thus, I agree with McCain and Palin when it comes to protecting the rights of the unborn.
Barack Obama recognizes the rights of the individual to be protected from a morally reckless government that would seek to prevent people from having an abortion based on someone else’s definition of what life is. Thus, it is very important to keep this personal and private medical decision out of legal chambers and within the private homes of those individuals who would be opting for this procedure. Thus, I agree with the fundamental right to privacy and personal choice that Barack Obama and the Democratic Party defend.
I am for Barack Obama’s stance on oil. This is because I do not feel that we should be getting cheap oil at the expense of our environment. As a result, I like where he stands, which is against drilling and nuclear power and standing for alternative energies such as wind power. If America looks to the future and gives tax credits to those programs that support a way out of Middle East oil dependency, we can also find ourselves creating new business and stimulating our economy.
I am in complete agreement with John McCain’s plan to drill for oil in the oceans off America. China is already doing this, and America is losing out on economical and job growth opportunities at the expense of what some people say is environmental damage. However, with the new clean methods of drilling, we could see ourselves move away from Middle East oil dependency while providing minimal harm to our natural resources.
