All I can say is Holy S...!
A teacher's manual? That's not good, but it does explain quite a bit.
There's many people here in the good ole USA that decried our "generation," but I've found that this said generation is now risking their lives in the current war. While in two different locations, it all equals to one war.
And the voices I heard are all strong, and tell me they believe they are fighting on the right side.
Say what you like.
I have great faith in this "generation." I hope to see a few of them go for Congress or Senate. Hey, even President. They'd have my vote. They are true leaders.
They go to fight, where they are ordered. And they get blasted for it. Compare this war to Vietnam?
Please. Some of the vets from 'Nam were spit on.
I bet a few of the anti-war people will do the same. All for following orders. And where is the sense of that?
We need to finish whatever the hell we started.
This ain't 'Nam. This is Iraq. And there is hope.
I just hope the current Admin (read...Bush &ompany get a heads up) learn that. Too much money is going to US companies instead of Iraq companies. This wasn't a third world country, after all.
Think about it. Think Cheney. If that doesn't do it, think Haliburton. Do a Google.
Not right.
The people of Iraq could reassemble quicker, cheaper, faster, etc....but no.
And now we have attacks. Our guys are dying 1 or 5 a day without doubt. That's not right.
My point?
Iraq isn't America. The citizens of Iraq deserve a voice, deserve to re-define their country. It belongs to them after all. A lot of money is going to American companies.
And that isn't right.
It's time to let the people of Iraq help rebuild said country.
They aren't happy, isn't that obvious?
And as for the answers, I don't have them. But I don't think we are listening to the people of Iraq. If they want live under people who believe the women have no rights, the women should hide themselves or else it's their fault they get raped.
Fine. Have at it.
IMHO, I'm done. You can only go so far.
We got rid of Saddam, and now they want him replaced by someone worse. And the people of Iraq seem to want it.
Ok. Let them have it.
And when they cry to us the Next Time about human rights....well, just ignore them.
After all, we are the Great Satan.
