Transcendance

WOW, finding an article to write about was even harder for me than actually writing my rough draft. I spent hours flicking through online artical after article looking for something that I liked, knew something about, and was not too boring, as I am a very boring person :) I felt like I wanted to write something uplifting, and I enjoy dispelling popular belief. Finally I found an article about appreciation for Iranian culture, and it's commonalities with the American culture. Boy I learned alot. Being in the army for five years, I know alot of fellow vets that hate the people in the Middle East. I'd like to do a good job on my strong opinion for the appreciation of the Iranian people so that I can share it with others. I don't want US to go to war with Iran as was John McCain dieing wish. I'm glad he is not president. I think it is important to find a purpose for writing a strong opinion essay that transcends just getting the assignment behind me.
