The war against Iraq started on March 19, 2003 at 9:30 p.m. In the movie No End in Sight shows the U.S policy decisions and Bush's Administrations decisions. There are many consequences from the decisions Bush's Administrations made. There are 4,257 American deaths and 31,089 Americans wounded. Also hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilian dead. This war has cost the U.S. over $3 trillion in economics. At least 4,000 military personnel died due to hostile action, according to the military's numbers. There were 1,033,000 violent deaths of the Iraqi's as a result of the conflict in August 2007.

This war has weakened the U.S. economy. Many economies adviser said that this war would cost about $100-200 billion, in the end the bill for the Iraq war will be $3 Trillion, and that’s only an estimate. When we need money to afford new health-care plans, make large repairs to roads and bridges that are getting older, or build better-equipped schools, we will not be able to. No matter if Obama is our president now, these problems will still occur.

This has caused the Iraqi's to have no provisional government back when the war started. All of their government had been destroyed. Although, they are now trying to get the government back. They are trying to start up new elections. A problem occurring is that there is tribal warfare right now, which is when political leaders are trying to run for office, and they are being assassinated.

It is not fair to all of the eighteen and up kids going in to war and dying at a age so young, when all of the leaders wanting this war to happen would never even think about going to Iraq to fight. Their input on this war would dramatically change if they were the ones in Iraq. I also think that we started this war for no reason. Yes, we thought that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, but we were not 100 % sure, and I think that we should have done things more carefully first before we started a war, that could very well turn into World War 3.
