Consider how the war affects you, the community in which you live in and the world around you. If you are military give details of your interpersonal feelings on the war and also ask some of your battle buddies on how it affects them. Soldiers go through a lot while deployed ranging from emotional, spiritual, and physical stress. Try finding a soldier and talking to one who has been deployed to Iraq or one who is going on and see how the deployment has affected them. Media will portray on one aspect of the war but the only true aspects are the soldier who have been in combat. I have deployed twice and have been blessed to return unharmed but can't say for some of my best friends.

You might mention that over 12,000 Iraqi police and security forces have died. You might also mention that over 80% of the exportable Iraqi oil is under contract to Compagnie Petrol De Francais (a French firm). You might also mention that 9,555 active duty military personnel died between 1980 and 1984 (years in which no one was shooting at us). Lastly, mention that the Congressional Resolution authorizing offensive military operations against Iraq listed seven reasons for the operation, with the WMD issue being only one of the reasons. All of the other reasons listed were a carbon copy of those contained in the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998.
In taking this tack in your thesis, you will counter all of the "conventional wisdom" put forth by the media darlings which is totally wrong!

"A modern war in an ancient society." The people of the middle-east do not have the same notions concerning governments and the rule of law as in the west. They are tribesman first, and they live according to tribal law. This all goes to back to the Code of Hammurabi, just as much of western law is based on the Napoleanic code.
An "eye for an eye" is still the law in the middle-east and it will not change in anyone's lifetime.
Do your thesis on the Hammurabic code and how it relates to the problems seen in Iraq today.

bombs have a funny way of fixing societies problems...People that have found new freedoms need time to adjust and find a reason not to hate....If you are a Sunni you do not need power if you have the wealth. If you are a Kurd stop getting in the whey by telling the US lies to better your position. If you are a Shite population will get you the vote but Iran will only cause friction to a weak democracy. They are all in a fix and time is on hold for a society that only knows the rule of a dictator. The US is not good at accounting for what we call help and the Iranian leaders are free to learn greed and corruption from the new occupiers.

- Look at the economic statistics pre-Iraq war versus post Iraq war.
- Focus on Economic regional stability

Christianity in Iraq might be good.
The Pope brought it up with Bush last visit. It appears the entire christian population of Iraq has fled the US Occupation

The war in Iraw is not about terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. It is all about oil and the income that is being derived from reconstruction projects and sales of weapons.
