Things have started to change already. After we took the U.S troops out prices on oil have changed. “Oil prices jumped to over $101 a barrel Tuesday amid concerns that rising tensions between Western powers and Iran could lead to crude supply disruptions.” I thought something like this would a rise from Obama’s actions. “On Monday, Iran test-fired a surface-to-surface cruise missile, part of 10-day naval maneuvers scheduled to end Tuesday. Iran's navy chief Adm. Habibollah Sayyari said the test showed the key oil passageway Strait of Hormuz is "completely under our control.” I can’t believe that we haven’t been out of iran for a month and they are already trying to create missile. “Iran has threatened to close the strait, where one-sixth of global crude exports pass, as possible retaliation to new U.S. economic sanctions over Iran's nuclear program.”  This connects to the poem. “POEM FROM IRAQ” by PrivatePoet because it happen to do with the same war that has now ended and now causing us pain in our wallets for the oil that they are bring to raise the oil prices. Yet we could just use our oil here in the united states but if we do gas price would sky rock and anything made from oil. “ 
Don't ask me why I cry for I might have to tell” this is how american feel today. “
I will weep and remember” what we fought for while we were in the middle east
