Politics and War
How does Politics and War have a connection? Politics is defined as the process by which groups of people make decisions. War is defined as an international relations dispute, characterized by organized violence between national military units. The connection takes play when the international relation becomes a dispute and they are unable to come to a decision.
The first question I asked myself when I began to read "Shooting War" was, "why is this book even on a bookshelf, for sale." As I began to read more in-dept, I became more interested in the book. It is so relevant to what is going and at the present time and what may possibly be our future. The author goes on to give an illustration of what is our future. The book is gruesome and very graphic. It even became grotesque to even read and visualize.
This course has demonstrated that blogging is our future. The book clearly shows that same demonstration. It also demonstrates a lot of politics. Shooting War is very intense and as discussed in class has a lot of political satire. The president at the time is Senator McCain. He not only illustrated the role of the president at that time, but his political satire illustrated what the United States was at that time. It shows an image that the United States is basically wasting their time in Iraq, and the Iraqis see us as a bad country. It also demonstrates religion, racism and sexism. The fact that he has a Starbucks sign in basically every scene, the Muslim clan and when he consistently ignores what Sameera has to say shows these demonstrations.
I found the book to be interesting and important because we as a country shouldn't want this to be our future. Women are looked at as sex objects and not as intelligent. He metaphorically degrades women with his sex scenes. This book should be a wake up call for not only women but the entire nation. We not only war against international nations but amongst ourselves. It becomes a political state for men, women, child, religion, race. The political state becomes a war, a war that we fight within our own communities. The war is fought throughout the nation.
