I do not think I really achieved what I originally set out to do with this blog, but I think I brought up some pretty relevant points that hopefully could spark some discussion. Defining the “anti-war, pro-troops” viewpoint has proven to be an impossible task, but I hope that I have illuminated my own personal definition of what it means to me. It would be great to hear from other people about what their thoughts and viewpoints are. Perhaps this will lead to further exploration of your own personal views on this war. Or not. And for that I would not blame you, as this blog is very amateurish. At this point all I can say is I hope this blog served some purpose outside of it being my final for my class.
