The most significant moment of my life thusfar was when the United States decided to invade Iraq. Prior to this event, I cared little for politics and even less about international relations. I was content to live in my own naive little bubble. Following September 11 and the subsequent invasion of Iraq, I quickly realized the importance of the representatives of our country and how their interactions with other nations could have a profound impact on my life. I began to pay more attention to politics and news reports regarding the United States interactions with other nations. While the war has not had any physical effect on me, it has helped open my eyes to the political and diplomatic worlds.
