War, Love, and Religion Umm Dont Mix

Without a doubt, it is good that the United States wants to bring freedom and democracy to the Iraq region. There are just a couple problems with bringing people to change religions, freedom and democracy it is not going to be easy to do all that. We need to be real about that, people here in the United States have not changed, let alone people in Iraq. I think it is a good idea to do that so people have the freedom to say what they want and what they need without someone pointing a gun at them. It would be such a great accomplishment for the Middle East to have freedom and democracy. At the same time having dozens of people change their views on something that they have known since they were born, it will not help much. That is what is not good about trying to change things because people are use to something and no one can change that. Our soldiers that are over there right now are trying to help but they can only help for so long. The United States and I myself would be happy for them because they are the ones who are in more need then we are.
There is just problems to do those changes. In the United States, yes we are free to be in any kind of religion. You can be anything but to some people religion is everything. One of my friends is Christian and he can only marry a Christian girl, while his in love with a Jewish girl. People should have the right to be in any religion, I do not see anything wrong with different religions that is what makes the United States different we have the right to say what religion we want to be. It is just that people in the Middle East do not want change. The people do not see what they can really be in life. When it come to democracy, for them to have an election like we did when Obama and Hilary Clinton were running or Sonia Sotomayor to become Justice, we all know those people were saying we are crazy to be doing that. In the United States, many people hate that Obama is president, imagine the people in the Middle East. This is something I think, many people might not think the same but before we fix democracy in the Middle East, we need to fix ours. Let’s say if a women it does not matter her race but she is well educated, and well qualified to be president she will be a joke to dozens of people. There was so much controversy over Obama not being qualified. The freedom for people in the Middle East is going to be one of the hard ones because they believe it is wrong to have same sex marriage, feminists, abortions, women to have more freedom and many more things. It is wrong for that to happen but to make people change that view it is going to take some kind of miracle. It is a good thing to change their freedom for example how the men in the Middle East treat the women like they are door mats to them.
