| It really isn't as much of a mess as one would think.......
Watching the military work, it looks like chaos. It is to a certain degree, but it is "organized".
All that everyone sees on the news is soldiers getting killed. How many stories have you seen that were positive? Probably not a lot because they don't sell.
Since I get all kinds of cool reports from Iraq, I can tell you there is a lot of good things happening there. Schools are being reopened and allowing females to attend. Water and electric plants that have been misused for years are being fixed on a regular basis. The people are holding peaceful demonstrations without fear of being tortured and killed. The number of people who don't want us there are the less than 1% that are from the old regime or are international terrorists.
A lot of the money we are sending there is being used to just keep the country running. Remember, we are creating a whole new infrastructure and it isn't cheap. Maybe if the UN wasn't a bunch of whiners, we wouldn't be footing such a big bill. Most of the UN members are terrified of what happened to Spain and that is the reason they don't want to get involved. In a time like this, countries need to make sacrifices. I'm not saying for them to not care abouttheir citizens. I'm saying they need to stand up for what they believe in and not let a bunch of terrorists dictate their policies.
