War

My cousin is over in Iraq right now and it's so scary having a family member that I'm close to there. Right of high school he went to training to be in the army. He had been sent to Iraq and when he came back home he said he didn't want to go back there. About a year ago he was being stationed in Germany for 4 years. A couple months ago he told us he was going back to Iraq. I really like that he's trying to help our country, but it's hard to not be able to talk to him. We are working so hard over there, and yet we're not getting that far. We can't always think we are going to save the world. I think that we sometimes need to let other countries figure things out on their own, and if we think we're in danger then step in. Now that we have gone there and damaged so much in that country, we have to keep our promise so that other countries don't think that we just destroy to get what we want and leave.
