Ellie Bittourna: On Sunday, an explosion killed nine construction workers and injured nineteen by the borders of Syria and Iraq. Some people who saw the explosion believed that it was the Americans that caused it. Later, a news channel in Syria reported that American helicoptors were responsible for attacking a building full of civilians, which resulted in the deaths of eight people. Right now, the United States is trying to negotiate an agreement with Iraq that would allow our military stay in the country and continue to carry out operations. Many surrounding countries dislike the idea because they feel that the U.S. may attempt to attack them as well. It seems as though the United States does not plan on pulling out of Iraq any time soon; this is something that will be causing increased opposition in the United States.
