Reply:How about the Iraq war. This is not the first time the west has invaded Iraq. You can look at the parallels between the British invasion of Iraq in the early 1900's and the U.S. invasion in 2003?
Reply:Well, we do have a rather nasty war on at the moment and we're going into a recession the likes of which we've never seen. Fascism is on the rise, especially here in North America.





Imagine it's 2607 instead of 2007. What might stand out as the great issue of the day? Make a snap judgment about that, and then begin.

How about comparing America's involvement and reactions to the Iraqi war with America's involvement and reaction to Vietnam/Korea? You could compare Presidents,reasons and justifications for the American involvement, reactions worldwide, military tactics (American Vs both Viet Cong and Iraqi troops), Political climates in each country, civilian and military reactions.. and how they change or evolve over time.


You could interview people who were actually in Vietnam or Iraq ask them for their perspective.. you could find out what people who were in Vietnam thinks about the Second Iraqi war. You could look into what were the motivating factors in each (Not just 9/11 but other tensions IE religion, natural resources, differing political views etc.)


That's just a few ideas on one topic that I had without really thinking about it, imagine what you could come up with with some thought!


If you do tackle this topic though, try to be impartial.. try to leave all prejudgements behind and try to look at it from the standpoint of a neutral person be Switzerland! Don't make any conclusions until your conclusion!!


Good luck with your assignment
