It’s is time for war to end. Kirk von Ackermann has marked his fifth year of his disappearance as a hostage of Iraq and he is the first man to get kidnapped in the war in Iraq. With now 39 kidnaps, the terrorist have found a new tactics in harming the US. With numbers of 342 foreign hostages including American troops the war has gone up to another level. I believe it is time for the United States to take another approach in the war. With new forms of torturing we can just pray that these soldiers can once again be with their family. Going back to the presidential election McCain wants to continue the war. He needs to notice that we have no business continuing this war and we don’t need to risk having more of our soldiers captured and tortured.
“Iraq has been most dangerous for Americans, who have a better than even chance of being murdered by their captors there — an 80 percent chance if the nine still missing are factored in. Foreigners, kidnapped in much higher numbers, have had a 20 percent chance of execution. Thirty-nine Americans have been taken hostage since 2003 in Iraq, and 22 are known to have been executed”

Going back to Kirk von Ackermann the American Criminal Investigators has stated that the person responsible for Ackermann kidnapped is nowhere to be found “disappeared”. How can a person disappear, does the investigators mean that they cannot track or capture the terrorist. It is scary to think that people risk their lives to defend our country, but yet we cannot find the leading cause of this war (Osama Bin Laden) or even terrorist. However, we can kill Sadam Hussein, bomb hundreds of homes of innocent people, and keep losing soldiers, for the war (oil). We were supposed to be looking/ killing Osama Bin Laden and the terrorist group of Al Qaeda instead we have dug ourselves in a bigger hole. As Barack Obama stated in the debate this war has caused many of the alliances from the United States to lose their respect and trust. The United States is getting more and more unsecure. How can we continue a war, when we don’t even know where to start or who to find?
