Well if those Iraqis can't be expected to use our help properly then what can we do? |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

HOLY CARP!!!

I can think of four options: 1. We give up. 2. We try harder. 3. We continue to do what we have been doing, and blame the Iraqi when things continue to fail as it has been failing. 4. Wipe out the Iraqis and put in people who we think can better use our help "properly." Which would you pick? |

My post was a comment on the article’s obvious political attack, not on any practical approach to helping people in need. As the nation best positioned to do so, the US’s answer must always be #2. The critics, like the Times and the Post and Quirt, can be a pain sometimes, but the answer is still #2. |
