In March 20, 2003 the Iraqi war began it was based on September 11, 2001. In John F. Kennedy said in his inaugural address, "The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life." Many people have gone to war for this purposes “the man” George Bush, was in power and he made people for fight for our “country” even though it was his problem and he made people get involved, even though they said they were fighting for their country. "George Tenet briefed Bush that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction. Bush dismissed this top-secret intelligence from Saddam's inner circle which was approved by two senior CIA officers, but it turned out to be completely accurate. The information was never shared with Congress or even CIA agents examining whether Saddam had such weapons." George Bush and Saddam had problems of their own and they obviously didn’t let people know what the deal was between both of them and they both had power for their own countries. How this relates to John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address its because Kennedy mentions how Americans are tempered by war and that means that Americans are made strong by war, and its because many people are being born through out his points and its obvious that if someone is going to grow through this their going to be strong on War and that’s what happening today with Kennedy’s speech.
There are many people that they let the leader “the president” do what ever they think its right for the country. “let both sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power, but a new world of law -- where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved.” from this quote there are parts of this that make it relate to the Iraq war, the fact that there is no balance of power but there is a power of law and that relates because the face that there are countries fighting and there is no law against war, but there is a law on power. Many people did think that Kennedy was going to make a change and avoid problems, and wars, but only he knows.
Kennedy said, “The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.” this relates to the Iraq war because many men and women have died during the war and its all because they were all trying to save their country and its because they were all made by the president. This information is caused by how the Bush was in charge of all the people here in the United States and he was able to make them go to War and they are going for the sake of protecting the country, when they are hurting themselves.
In conclusion, most of Kennedy’s speech is based on the Iraq war, and this information could also be related to various current events; even though Kennedy is not alive I feel that he predicted the for of how life would be today and how it would be applied into the real world and he though of the whole world and other people not just him. “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.“
