Iraq
Mood:  don't ask
We are in Iraq for reasons only Pres. Bush and his administration know. Our soldiers are getting killed; however, we must stay in Iraq (for our own interest). I know that I questioned whether Iraq was another Viet Nam. The deaths of our soldiers are preventable. Our soldier's deaths resemble those of suicide bombers and explosive vehicles. In addition, civilians who go there to help are getting kidnapped and it will not accomplish anything, just like Daniel Pearl. The intelligence should know this and should pass on this information to the commanders of their units and their military. But our intelligence is not working. We cannot make Iraq a democracy like the United States. It has to be in their own system. Fundamentalism in any religion creates hate towards people different than you are, therefore, fundamentalism has to be eradicated. However, this is not going to be an easy thing to eradicate in our world as it is now. Religious wars are an age old problem.
