Contrary to popular belief, which unfortunately is heavily influenced by the media, many of the US Soldiers are doing amazing work in the Middle East! Check out some of the things the troops have done to help make Iraq a better, safer place! As you watch the short videos think about how the children gravitate towards the soldiers. Why do you think they crowd around them? Why do you think they want to be by them? Based on what you saw, do you think the children like having the soldiers there? Do you think the troops provide the children with a sense of security or a sense of fear?
Read through the quotes. The quotes I have posted are from Iraqi civilians who have expressed their love and gratitude towards America and the people of the Armed Forces who have helped them. Where you surprised by the feelings the expressed? Why do you suppose they said the things they said?
Upon completion of visiting my blog, I would like you to ask yourself if you were aware of many positive things going on in the Middle East and if you weren't ask yourself why. Was your opinion about the War formed based on media influence? Was your opinion of the War based off of others' bias opinions? Why do you suppose the majority media only shows the negative news? When was the last time you came across positive news about what the troops have done?
