I know that in big cities, we have one-way streets; I guess politics have one-way streets as well. Therefore, solutions go through Baghdad not quagmires!
Once again, a presidential hopeful, an angry Iraqi president, and a scared Israeli Prime Minister are calling upon us to stick to our guns and live up or maybe in this case die for an imaginary victory.
As if dreaming of victory will produce one.
Once again the magical word is suppose to keep the people stupid and happy, we should not notice the kids coming back in bags, the kids standing in line to get psychological treatments, the kids with no arms and legs spending their beautiful years in rehabilitation programs.
Israel is distancing itself and leashing war on the credibility and motive of Baker to insure that America will not exercise any sort of pressure on Israel regardless of the cost to America.
Our partner in Iraq after spending his life working for a separate Kurdistan, he is now all for a united and sovereign Iraq, and against a timetable that would hold his government and ours accountable.
At the mean times we are losing our kids, their equipments are falling apart and the treasury is disappearing along with our standing in the world.
Yes, it is a free country, we can reject the seventy-nine recommendations, we can wait for a miracle, and we can train an Iraqi army that turns to fight us using our issued weapons.
Baker-Hamilton recommendations do not describe victory but it is the only hope we have to cut our losses unless McCain, Talabani and Olmert have different seventy-nine recommendations!
I am an Egyptian American born in Alexandria. I immigrated to the US in the late eighties, during this time lived in many places in US and Europe. I work as an IT manager and love it. I love to travel, it makes me feel young, and it awakes in me sense of adventure and curiosity. I love knowing people from different cultures; it never fails to amaze me how we all live in our little worlds that never meet. History is my second amazement, it always differ depending on who is winning, that leads me to my third hobby, politics is it history or human nature that is the culprit?
