death and war

From that what I read at Walkovers blog ( never-rains.blogspot.com) and that what I get from Jenna, I think a lot of people ask themselves what actually is happening there in Iraq. As I read a lot of history books AND HAVE lived ten years in Iran, in a country from some custom, but especially from economy simliar to Iraq, I may try to answer the question. I don´t think or believe that the situation in Iraq is hopeless, right now the Us policy is let´s wait till the Iraqis get tired of bombing and civil war, that a policy that could work in two or three years, that means another 2000 soldiers from the allied forces dead, soldiers who have could have a beautiful life in Europe. How will we who live this life, justify the death of these people, that´s a harsh moral problem the west is facing. is there a fast way to sucess in Iraq? I think so, spend a lot of money in the economy of this country, I mean pay anyone very well who wants to change anything in Iraq. and reduce the forces in Iraq. The problem is US trust too much in his troops, you have to choose the soft way I suggested, Chuck Norris is saying the troops are fighting for th efreedom of Iraq, that´s wrong, Iraq is now at the most possible state of freedom. the troops has done their job, now in my opinion it´s time, that US and GB spend a looot of money in Iraq, they need to run Basra port at high standard and so on, of course terrorists will try to disturb this events, but if buisness in Iraq brings mmoney, the Iraqis or middle east investors will find a way to stop rooters, as they would no longer get help from the population, what is NOW actually the case. I don´t know maybe I am an always dreamer, but to say we cannot build up Iraq because they are terrorists is a thing that is not acceptable for me. For most people probably yes,
to the soldiers in Iraq, most of them wil lprobably be traumatized, but that does not need to mean that their life is over, they have risked their life for a well being of Iraq and the security of US, they have seen probably awful things, but they can feel pride, of course they wil not apt again in normal life in US, they will need care and a place where they can again feel at home. that is a thing no one really understands, the way is this: you are traumatized, you are out of life, so modern psychiatrists think, that a crime in my opinion, what has to listen to the need of the veterans, some may turn to public and speak about their experiences. all of them will try to find a way to solve the inner conflicts they are in, and one should listen to these people, to their needs, a lot wil feel guilty for killing Iraqis, for have been done so, that sth. you cannot prevent, if you kill someone even for a just case and in war, you cannot forget that you have killed a human being, you will think like why haven´t we both sides just put the guns away. we hadn´t any hostility toward each other, we just don´t know each other. I think that a lot of people in war aren´t too proud of the number of enemies they have killed.
coming back to Chuck Norris, he explains , th ecase is this , we are in Iraq and have to handle the situation. I can again not agree, one have to answer was the war justified, because if not one has to search and seek for those people who are responsible for an unjust war, it´s pity that Mr. Norris, who I liked much, is so proud of his friendship with the Bush family. But I believe most of the US citiziens wil agree that next time a war should be started on more profound proofs, not saying after six months, oh we made a mistake , the hints toward massdestructions weapons was false. I don´t know anyone who have visit a soldiers cementry will agree that decisions in politics should be based on rational facts. a war is NOT a game. A lot of people in europe don´t understand that, like we have the better weapons, what was there against invading Iraq or whatever. Damn war is deathly serious, if you sit in the tank and shoot at enemy soldiers, the thought may come to your sense that the soldiers are also father of kids, I think a lot of people misses to see also right what the philosophy of middle east is. for them an explosion in a city is sth. not to worry toomuch about, they have to fight with poverty and so on. as we cannot understand th epeople in east, they can also not understand why the US makes such a fuss on a terror attack, democracy is a dream for them, even th eUS could not bring that to them.

besides I was working out today, that helps me a lot, to say clear in mind and worry less on my life... so much now, puh what a long post!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Harry! Great post!

The casualities that the foreign forces have suffered are nothing in comparison to the casualities suffered by the Iraqi people. Everytime a car bomb goes off most of the people killed are Iraqi, not foreign.

I believe the old addage 'give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him for life'. I truely believe that if we work harder at enabling Iraqi's to rebuild their country it will mean a better future for the country. We have helped them build a government but what about helping train doctors, nurses, teachers etc What about helping people who went as refugees to other countries come back and help rebuild? What about making sure everyone has the means to have food, water, sanitation, electricity etc?
