 * The Iraq War **
 * Part I--What I already know about my topic **

The Americans started the war with Iraq because they were looking to find and capture Osama Bin Laden. They wanted to capture him because he is the leader of Al-Queda which is a major terrorist organization and they destroyed the Twin Towers which was in New York,USA. This happened on September 9,2001. Lots of people died because of the attack on the Twin Towers so the Americans wanted to capture Osama Bin Laden. Some people that I know used to work in the Twin Towers including my aunt who had the day off because she was sick on the day of the attack so she was safe from the attack. Since this war between Iraq and America happened, many hundreds of thousands of people died including American soldiers, Iraqi soldiers and Iraqi civilians which is why the war should come to an end quickly so a lot more people won't die. The Iraqis are not helping the Americans find Osama Bin Laden and conflict between the Shiites and Sunnis keep happening and the Americans are dying because of this too! Many wars between many different people are happening in Iraq. My aunt worked in the twin towers during that time period but she called in sick that day so my family was lucky that she wasn't working that day! She was saved because she probably would have died if she worked that day like lots of other people. When will the war between Iraq and the USA end? How many Americans have died so far in this disaster? How many Iraqis have died so far in this disaster? How are the Americans trying to end the war with Iraq? Why don't the Iraqis help the American soldiers find Osama Bin Laden? If the Americans find Osama Bin Laden, would the war end? Who are the others that the Americans are looking for other than Osama Bin Laden? If there are any,what are the other reasons that America is in a war with Iraq other than because of Osama Bin Laden?How does the war in Iraq affect our everyday lives? How many American soldiers are in Iraq during this war?
 * Part II--What I Want to Find Out **

I just finished reading the time line of events that happened during in the war in Iraq! It was interesting because it showed how things happened like cause and affect! I also was reading about the economic issues/problems that were happening because of the war like lots of people are losing jobs because the USA doesn't have enough money to pay for so many workers! The sources also show information like how many people have died on both sides which are the Iraqis and the Americans. It also shows how many troops are in Iraq on America's side in the war! My sources also talk a lot about how the financial expenses because of the War are affecting both countries (Iraq and the USA). It talks about these facts and many more things on [] which I think many people should see because many people don't know all these facts about the war. One affect of the war in the USA for the financial issues is that the USA is wasting so much money on the war so lots of people will be cut from their jobs and lots of people would then become jobless. I like many others, want the war to end because so many people are dying which I don't think should happen and also because lots of people are losing there homes and families in Iraq because of explosions of bombs, gunfire, etc. Also because lots of people are becoming homeless since a lot of money is going to the war so many jobs get cut and there is no money to give to those people.
 * Part III--The Search **


 * Part IV--What I Learned **

I learned about the economic problems that are caused because of this horrific war. Like I said before, lots of people are becoming homeless since a lot of money is going to the war so many jobs get cut and there is no money to give to those people.
