We can't help with the rebuilding at this point.
We can offer air support to the Iraqi army, but then they shoot down our Black Hawks with rpg's.
Iraq won't start healing until we redeploy. Then, later, maybe...we can send in people to restore the water and electric.
So much of what's really going on doesn't appear in the US media.
It's a mess, and our continued presence isn't helping. Our guys are in a shooting gallery...and that makes no sense at all.

it's a mess. reminds me a bit of ireland--when they weren't fighting the brits, they were fighting each other. funny, they always seemed pretty happy.
i just feel like we haven't done enough. what we did was half-assed or something. then i feel we did a horrible thing by going into a sovereign country. saddam was a horrible person. but we've made a horrible mess. and i don't want to just leave it a horrible mess...
in other words....this whole situations is a freaking mess. but i don't see how we can just leave it.
i've always told my kids to do your best. that you should try your hardest. have we? i mean, yeah, it's HARD. but that's not a good enough reason to stop, is it? we broke it, we have to fix it. or is it irreparable?
