“From Civil War to Iraq”

The video I found on the CNN website, first caught my attention from the initial picture placed on the video. It was half of President Obama’s face and half of President Lincon’s face. If you are not very interested in politics and have a short attention span, then I would suggest watching this video considering it is only about two and half minutes long. It discusses the similarities in the way President Obama and President Lincon address the issues dealing with war. During the time President Lincon served our country 600,000 men were killed in the 2 battles of Bull Run. That came out to be about 2 percent of the whole population during that time. In our current almost 6 year war with Iraq 4,000 men have been killed. Two percent of our population today would be around 5million. There for it shows how strong and advanced our army is today compared to during the rain of President Lincon. Regardless I’m still completely 110 percent TOTALLY against war!
