I was listening to the news today and they were talking about what would happen if we left Iraq without it being a secured country.
They said that it would be a LARGE possibility that Iran would try to take over Iraq. Iraq is important to us and most of the world because it sits on the largest oil supply. If Iran got a hold of this it could bring the cost of gas to $10 a gallon!!
I'm sure there are more repercussions that would come because of it. But this seemed to really hit home for me. I don't know about you guys but I can't afford to pay that much money. The average middle-class American can't pay it either.
I guess I was always kind of confused why we were in Iraq. I knew we were searching for the attackers of 9-11, but it all seems to make more sense as I see the importance of how it would effect me if we didn't help out Iraq.
If anyone has more insights into this subject or if I'm totally missing a major point, feel free to add to this blog!!
