3. It is "senseless" to US, but the the Iraqis who want us OUT,
it makes perfect sense.. they have no personal connection to these "soldiers of fortune" who have come to their country chasing the almighty dollar..

I seriously doubt that ANY of the "foreign workers" are in Iraq, because of the love of the people.. That goes for ALL the foreign workers.. They are there because there are BIG BUCKS to be had.. They were in financial straits at home, or saw this as their "one big score" to set them up for life..

They gambled..they lost..


There is NO SHORTAGE of ablebodied Iraqis who are perfectly capable of rebuilding their country.. They were not given the jobs.. They are young, angry and they are showing it in every way they can..

Within days of our "glorious victory", there should have been JOBS FAIRS..with money being handed out to the new "employees".. They should have been gioven the opportunity to "repair" their broken country..and we could have been seen as the ones who helped them do it..

We chose a different route..We chose to occupy and they saw little difference between us and Saddam..
