We've Only Just Begun...

My suggestion? Bring in UN peace-keeping forces and pull out the American troops. Let the people decide who they want to represent them. Let the governing council be composed of Iraqis who were suffering the blockade and wars *inside* of Iraq. People are angry and frustrated and the American troops are the ones who are going to have to bear the brunt of that anger simply because the American administration is running the show, and making the mistakes (16).

It always saddens me to see the majority of them are so young. Just as it isn't fair that I have to spend my 24th year suffering this whole situation, it doesn't seem fair that they have to spend their 19th, 20th, etc. suffering it either. In the end we have one thing in common---we are all victims of decisions made by the Bush administration.

On the other hand...they'll be back home in a month, or two or three or six...and we'll be here having to cope with the mess of a homeland we have now.
