Closure

• Now that youve seen how an event is made
  possible by a number of circumstances, lets
  examine a more modern example. A lot of people
  would argue that we are only at war in Iraq
  because they may have had weapons of mass
  destruction. However, there are many more causes
  and circumstances that one could point to as to
  why we are at war currently. Think about some
  other possible reasons that could be responsible.
  Write a paragraph of your thoughts.
