This is what it means to be in Iraq. Our soldier helping those less fortunate. I personally damn those who would have us leave early and leave these people to anarchy. These people need our help. We, as a world, need to put up or shut up whenit concerns freedom. We sit by idley while other denizins of other countries get maimed, tortured, and humiliated. The UN is no better. The G'damn pacifistic "look the other" way organization has done little to prevent various incidents. When nations are led at the helm by maniacle dictators who don't give a whim about anyone except themselves, the UN just slaps them on the hand. Damn them.

I read through your blog.....

The blog was tactless... I didn't fully realize your circumstances... I apologize.

I do still stand by my point that I *never* meant anything against the soldiers. (The Reason behind my rant are that of bakerstreets recent blog) I also apologize to your husband.

I do hate war.
But, I love freedom.
And, despite my feelings agains war, I feel it is sometimes necessary.
Your comments have definantly made me re-think my "fairy tale" like view of soldiers.

My plan for a withdrawl: (Forgive me for any typos i missed, my fingers are starting to ache...)

1. Iraq must be able to maintain a basic domestic infrastructure. (Water system, Power System, Roads, Hospitals, etc.. "Utilities")

2. Iraq must be able to maintain an adequate military to defend itself w/o the need for large (or none) foreign forces. (Size depends on the size that can meet the needs w/o becoming "suffocating" to the citizens.)

3. Iraq must be able to maintain an economy. (Trade, etc...)

4. Iraq must maintain a viable diplomatic corps. (Enough to maitain reasonable relationships with other countries)

(Thats all i can think of at the moment)
