When I last went back, people were so tired and exhausted and had lost hope.

I can't understand this quote. The people of Iraq are starting self government after living for decades of life under a tyrant. What was expected, we would kick out Saddam and pile into our planes and leave? Talk about wanting instant results. The left in this country are even worse. What was Roosevelt's "exit strategy" in 1941 when we went to war with Japan and Germany? Sixty three years later we are still in those countries. What about Truman's "exit strategy" in Korea? Its been 51 years and we still have troops there.

I fault in part the education system. If people had any idea about past conflicts they might understand this one a little better.

Great point. They have a significant control over the universe of ideas, starting at an early age, reinforced by the media and the idiot generation of elitists. That's why anyone that works for truth is an enemy to their cause of completing the American Socialist Nation and conquering the united states of America once and for all.

Not on my watch...

Don't believe Hamid's account of what the Iraqi people want or expect. He has an agenda.
