War is Peace?

I'd really like to know your thoughts on living through a war. How much did it impact your life? How aware of the war have you been the past seven years? Did you agree/disagree with it? Were you even old enough to understand what it was about?


Growing up I have had friends whose dads left for months on end and sometimes they never returned. Much of my generation has felt the impact of this ongoing war. Between the tightened security procedures throughout the country and the mass media coverage I think it is impossible to be unaware of this global war on terror. As for me personally, I do feel it is America's responsibility to be the worlds 'big brother'. There isn't a more noble purpose for our people than to try and restrain the evils that plague this world and to give help to those who can't help themselves. While all aspects of the war I will not agree with I do say that as a whole I believe the American people have made the right choice in this conquest.
