Death squads patroling the streets, gunships flying by every few minutes and that thought that a bomb could be waiting outside your front door... Its even worse for the government officials.
the middle east truly is a area gutted by religion  |
Agreed....it is a tough row to hoe!!! It will not happen over night and people need to realize that. Do you realize how rich Iraq can be with all the oil reserves? I understand electricity is free at this point! I believe some Iraqi are just plain scared to do anything and to be honest, I would be scared also. We can not at any point abandon what has been started. Unfortunate that most of the US (I live in the US) do not support this. It is all political here in the states. With exception of Revolutionary War and 911 attacks, the US is been free of military engagements. It is hard for US citizens to understand what the Iraqi are going through because a large majority in the US have not been there or done that. |
Civil War 1861-1865. I realize that was long ago, but since I consider it a defining time for the US I had to remind everyone. |
Good one! My line of thought at the time was foreign invasion. War of 1812 is another....but these are a long time ago and not in the social consious. |
Agreed. But many lessons can be learned from these past engagements. Unfortunate that some cannot see beyond their own petty political landscape. |
Learn from these engagements? Are you kidding? Anything kids learn today they learned at the mall or the latest Disney flick?:rotfl::rotfl: Actually my eight year old was going over her history quiz for this week and it was about the the war of 1812.  |
Sounds like she's off to a good start AVGWarhawk!
