If we can help, I guess we should. If we are just trying to make money, we should look at it differently. The Iraqis should pay as much as possible from their oil profits. Personally I feel many of the problems of the Arab world need more help from other Arab leaders. So far, they have never sought to absorb refugees and help to assimilate them. They now have additional Arab refugees from Iraq but are not allowing them to work and are forcing some to leave their areas. The only refugees the UN recognizes and helps seem to be those from areas of the former Palestinian Mandate, assuming they are Muslim and are willing to live in sixty year old camps and live on charity. Iraq ia not ready to take care of its own. So we will stay longer, whether we like it or not. We, the American people, have little to say. We do not even know the truth about how much help we are actually doing to rebuild Iraq or how much Iraqis can do without us. We keep thinking they will have a bloodbath if we leave. There are bloodbaths all over the world and we, and the rest of the world, do kittle to stop it. I personally resent my tax dollars helping others kill each other but have little to say.<BR/>Bob PorisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
