Even after 11 years or so, the United States government is still providing both financial and military aid to the middle eastern countries of Iraq and Afghanistan. Today we are actually still fighting terrorism over in Afghanistan which means we still have troops stationed over there. In Iraq however, we are no longer fighting a war at all, our soldiers stationed over there are currently acting more like a police force than anything else. This is actually bad for our economy. We have to pay those soldiers that are over in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iraq no longer needs a police force, we should not have to enforce their laws for them, thats a total waste of our money. We are also providing economic aid to Iraq to rebuild their nation. Originally this was a nice idea but after 11 years of funding them its about time to cut them off and leave them on their own.
