The murder kidnapping threat compelled them to leave; no one can fault them for that. The US President has extolled the virtues and abilities of the Iraqi people. I agree the good people of Iraq can build a government of the people with US help and profits from this oil rich country. All Iraqi citizen should receive dividend checks from the sale of oil and the reuilding of the country can be financed from that same oil revenue. Before this can proceed with ernest the murderers and terrorists have to be put down.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281049095381399014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25600477.post-82355667656083465492007-02-18T19:03:00.000+00:002007-02-18T19:03:00.000+00:00Hi, first time visitor to your blog.

I know most probably don't want to come to America, but they ought to be given the opportunity. It's the right an decent thing to do... instead of making it nearly impossible.<BR/><BR/>Dan C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25600477.post-68973694261238373212007-02-15T03:49:00.000+00:002007-02-15T03:49:00.000+00:00Maliki and other prominent Iraqileaders need to ge...Maliki and other prominent Iraqi<BR/>leaders need to get involved and seek temporary funds to<BR/>assist Jordan and perhaps Egypt<BR/>in temporary settlement of Iraqi.<BR/><BR/>Then once there is organized plan to the entire ordeal <BR/><BR/>Maliki must send representatives<BR/>to these countries and come up with<BR/>a plan to first bring back the men<BR/>to Iraq say 16-50 years of age.<BR/><BR/>These men can be organized to supplement the security forces<BR/>and help with the new security initiative.<BR/><BR/>Now, that said the idea is not for these men to fight or be targets<BR/>but to flood areas where there<BR/>is an existing agreement within<BR/>the security in the neighborhoods for their return.<BR/><BR/>Before heading back to Iraq reconcilliation efforts can be underway with meetings in Jordan<BR/>and Syria ...<BR/><BR/>As far as America is concerned ...<BR/>Well lets see we are sending 20,000<BR/>more soldiers ... it does not look good to the American Public for<BR/>100,000 Iraqis to come here ...<BR/>and our soldiers are going there.<BR/><BR/>Americans want to see an all out<BR/>push to stableize and support moderates in Iraq ....<BR/><BR/>American will NOT support a huge<BR/>exodus of Iraqi coming here<BR/>while our Young men go to Iraq<BR/>to search for roadside bombs<BR/>and to man checkpoints.<BR/><BR/>Maliki needs to ask for world support and then organize<BR/>the exiles have them return <BR/>to neighborhoods where security<BR/>agreements have been reachedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
