In my opinion, the most important issue in modern day politics is the war in Iraq. It's doing more harm than good, and I don't see how staying there is going to lead to anything other than more negative effects. I think that it's all an excuse for Bush and his administration (the who) to gain control of the oil in Iraq (the what and where) by covering it up as the "War on Terror" (how). I feel like innocent lives are being lost over something that is purely about power and gaining more control. We have no way of knowing how long it will last, but the fact that it's been going on for so long already makes me think that it will unfortunately continue for a while. (the when).
