There’s No Place Like … Iraq?

And one more thing Mr JPS,

Do you really consider having a radical Islamic movement attacking your country every chance they had...peace?

Do you really consider having companies like ENRON and other like them cooking their books, the best economic times?

Do you really consider the unrealistic projections made by the Clinton Administration for a balanced budget in 2012, real numbers?

You say you are not a Democrat? You sure sound like one!

Yeah, we should all be like JPS and stick our head in the ground and pretend people don`t hate us and people wont hijack aircraft and won`t kill american civilians or gas japanese people in a subway. And we can pretend that this wasn`t planned while Clinton was in office while distracted by his stupid sex acts and subsequent perjury when he should have taken these animals out. But no, it was left to GW to deal with and act he did. The Taliban had it coming and so did Saddam. People like JPS would be the first to complain that Bush did nothing to take out Saddam when we had the chance if he had aquired WMD or invaded his third country! It took 10 years to of war to get the US truely independent and functioning, so its no surprise its been nearly 5 years and finally turning the corner in Iraq. Anytime a dictator is removed its a good thing for the world in the long run. The only peoples rights being constrained are those engaged in our destruction and I dont recall any "constitutional rights" being extended to enemy combatants or terrorists. I feel bad for
people like JPS, they are like Sheep being led to the slaughter.

Mr. JPS
"He is gone and this country is still out of control. He had control only because of fear."

What you don't know is that Saddam murdered anyone that dared to speak against him. He murdered hundreds of thousands of his own people, which is why he was hung to death. You think Iraq is out of control? I say the United States is out of control. I live in the United States and I know that there are many streets in your cities that you would never walk down after dark....some even during the day light hours.

Iraq is not perfect. There are areas. through Syria's and Iran's support, where it is still dangerous no doubt. But if you lived in Iraq during Saddam's rule, you would be able to see that things are better in Iraq today than they have ever been. If the United States had not come and taken Saddam down, things would be much worse than now. Please be patient with the Iraqi population. Freedom is something no living generation has ever experienced before. There is a learning curve, but when I hear Americans talk about no political progress being made, I look at your congress and think to myself, pot this is kettle, kettle this is pot. I think the new Iraqi congress has made great strides compared to the United States Congress.

I say again, God Bless America. Don't lose faith in Iraq. Don't expect a country that has never know freedom to become what you want it to be over night. It has taken the United States over 200 years to become what it is. You seem to expect Iraq to do it over night?

In comparison, it was over 100 years before women had the right to vote in the United States.......women can vote in Iraq today. So in some areas, Iraq's new democracy has advanced much faster than in the United States.

And don't believe all the civil war montra that you hear in the media. There is a very strong sense of nationalism in Iraq. If Syria and Iran are stopped in their efforts to disrupt progress in Iraq, you will see a nation that will rise quickly.

I wonder what it would be like in the world today if the United States never helped out any other countries with aid or assistance and just worried about its own citizens?

and then screen my comment how pathetic

Why does the NEWS only show us the bad things going on in Iraq and Afghan. is it the Democrats wanting us to think that everything is bad over there and no good is happening there? Don't believe all that you read and see on TV.

THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS RIGHT NOW>>>

Right on Dilly! No more refuges in the U.S. to have taxpayers give them a free ride. No more illegal immigrants from Mexico! No more free rides for law breakers!

No Iraqi refuges are wanted in the United States. We are full we illegal aliens from Mexico!

Great article, but note that Jordan has made a concentrated effort to enroll Iraqi children in schools this year. Due to a number of factors, only a limited number of children have enrolled, and it's clear that no one - Jordanian, U.S. or Iraqi, seems to want a long term settlement of Iraqi refugees in Jordan.

Regarding Iraq, Secretary Colin Powell said: We broke it; We bought it.

It is our awesome responsibilities to make sure all the Iraqis return to their own homes SAFE and SOUND!



If we can accomplish this awesome mission, our prestige in the world would be restored again!
