No End In Sight By: Alex Rios English
Early War Questions Why didn’t George Bush take control of what was happening in the war, instead of letting Rumsfeld command the war? Why did the Army Generals ignore the request’s from families to take the troops out of the war? Why does the U.S have to be so ignorant towards our rights and not listen to the people?
Current War Questions Why did the U.S let riots continue in Iraq? Why do we still continue to send troops to other countries to fight? Why didn’t we ever have a plan on what to do for the war when we first captured Saddam Husain?

What angered me the most in the film Some of the actions in the movie No End In Sight angered me because the U.S was not taking control of the Iraqi population. Also that the communities had access to the guns and nuclear bombs that were more powerful then what the U.S had with them.
