Conflict was different to the essays I'd wrote to prepare, my piece is a newspaper article, which addresses america's potential involvement in Syria through considering their interference in the First Indo Chinese War. (The Quiet American.)
My piece usually goes on to discuss the difference between academic and literal approaches to war (Pyle v Fowler, to those who know the text)
So basically I wrote about how soldiers from different nations are pitted individually against each other due to the conscience of government officials blah blah blah. That the two concepts are not only comparable but actually entwined.
I felt terrible while writing it, but now I think I will get seriously either a 4 or an 8. War isn't exactly an interpersonal conflict, it's a global conflict.

Duhhhhhh, all I can do is cross my fingers now!
