    American society can be very easily seen as black and, white. Although this may seem true that is not always the case, there are more similarities than people think between the two. In fact it is shown that they both seemingly support endless war. When George bush was the president of the U.S.A, he strongly supported fighting Afghanistan for revenge on what happened on 9/11. Following Bush, president Barack Obama was also not the slightest bit concerned in ending the feud. In fact he actually caught Bin laden. If neither party is against war how long will this actually go on? “People who fight fire with fire usually end up in ashes…
