@Tumusiime Percy David,
Drnaline , I agree with most of your post , but am confused about your comment "seeing where you're from I can understand how you arrived at what you think " . What difference does it make ? Do you think all Ugandans are Idi Amin types ?
Percy , we are there to help Iraq become a viable society , hopefully democratic , and we are succeeding . Please don't believe everything the media shows you . Good things are happening every day in Iraq , but those stories don't sell newspapers or TV time . Witness the elections that have been successful , and the very recent joining of the process by all parties , Sunni , Shiite , and Kurd in an attempt to form a coalition government . Those who boycotted the early elections have now taken part in elections and are coming around to the idea that they can all be a part of governing Irag .
Stability in the Middle East is a lofty and difficult goal , but one wothy of our efforts and support .
