In order to restore order and create a democracy in Iraq , the United States .
is planning to form a new Iraqi Army. United States authority will begin recruiting.
Iraqis for the 40,000 member army to take over the responsibility for guarding.
borders and key installations. I for one , agree with this idea to form a new Iraqi .
army. I believe that the United State's reasons for this plan , my reasons for this .
plan , and the outcome for the future , will help explain why I think it is the right .
thing to do.
The United States sees this as a great opportunity to stop the violence and the.
constant attacks on U.S troops. It is hoped to prevent former Iraqi soldiers from .
turning against occupation authority and engaging in armed resistance. Concerning.
the new army , Slocombe , a senior Pentagon official stated , "They will perform .
military duties of the kind of coalition forces are providing now. They will be a .
military force , not a police force or a security force." ( qtd. in chandrasekaran A1).
This means that the new Iraqi army is going to be trained as a United States army.
and take on the same responsibilities. However , only former Iraqi officials and .
enlisted personnel who are not linked to terrorism , will be the only ones aloud to.
be recruited. .
I think that building a new Iraqi army is a great idea because I feel that it is.
the right thing to do. Ever since the war on terrorism began , I have always been in.
favor for what the United States did. I supported every decision President Bush has .
made , and believe strongly that he is a good leader. I understand that war is .
terrible , but I believe that terrorism must come to an end. Even though the war is.
now over , American soldiers are still being attacked and killed. But with a newly.
formed Iraqi army trained by United States personnel , the violence among the .
Iraqi people and soldiers would probably die down. I am for this decision one .
hundred percent , and know that only good things can come out of it as a .
