'Go Home'
"We're disappointed," says Ibrahim when asked whether she will ever look back and consider the war to have been worth it. "At the beginning, we thought the Americans were coming with flowers in their hands to save us from the depression we were living in. We had big dreams about what would happen. We thought they were our friends, but now we feel they are our enemies and they must go," she says. Her advice to America now to bring about the best possible outcome? "You should go home and let us live our life."

Comment: Although the United States had good reason to enter at the beginning I believe that they must end it. The United States always gets involved in countries, destroying many in order to benefit themselves. I come from a country that was a first world country, until the United States helped install a dictator into power who has turned our nmation into a third world country. The funny thing is that right away you would think that it was a republican party after power, but it was actually a democrat who brought the dicatator into power. To all democrats out there, I remind you that a democrat ruined my people, just like a republican has ruined their people.

Comment: Since Americans do not understand the cultural wars over there, they often assume that if we leave the problem will go away. Not so. The Arab Nations have been fighting since the beginning. They have as part of their culture war. The Quiran demands it. Their clerics call for it. They form tribal alliances that know no boundries, no state, no U.N. policy will remove the hatred they all live for. Very unfortunate.
It is more unfortunate that the United States is now involved, but not wrong. Because we are part of the global community, we have made great strides under Bush's policy. The Wall Street Journal reported that almost all of the Worlds Islamic Nations have voted out al-Quida and Hammas. They are pro democratic nations now. We should take advantage of this and encourage those nations to flourish in freedom.
Of course the nay sayers in our nation will always run away from responsibility towards others, and refuse to understand the implications of the times. That is the hallmark of the uneducated (ignorant of the situation) who only listen to what their elite examples spew forth. They truley do not know the blessings we have- war free country, freedom and responsibility, work.
Obama and Hillary both are elitists. They live for the prograssive socialist, humanist manifesto, indoctrination of our nation. Remember Hilly's "It takes a village"? That is purre Socialist Indoctrination-
IT TAKES A FAMILY TO RAISE A CHILD. Not the government, Not the UN, not the Democratic Party, and certainly not the Clintons.

Comment: I believe we have been in there way too long, Obama has the only good platform to get out of iraq and concentrate on getting osama, bush made a mistake by trying to correct daddys wrong, time to bring the soldiers home
