Vacation. The time of year you get to relax and not stress about your upcoming test or homework assignment. Going on vacation was favorite traditions ever since I could remember.

who killed his own innocent citizens. This is what brings us to our question, "Was America justified by going to war in Iraq?" "Did America's goal, if they have one, get fulfilled by war?“ I believe that, no, America was not justified, and this war did not make a big impact on anyone.
