Well some people are more familiar with the Iraq. I for one am familiar with Iraq's history because my parents were born there and am Assyrian. Soldiers that serve in Iraq begin to appreciate the history others have learned about. Making their respect for Iraq's (Mesopotamia) history tangible.

I guess I must be about your age than cuz I haven't had anyone call me a hippy in a long time either lol. As for the question, I'm not thoroughly convinced to this day that there weren't wmd's in Iraq. The way we played around with the U.N. for months a turtle could have moved them out of there. I think any country that has a taste of freedom is a wonderful thing. and no I would not move to Iraq. If anyone has a comment about me going in the service I already did during Vietnam and my son did Iraq! He did 13 months in Fallujah.

I have been thinking that way for a long time. there are some dodgy questions being asked. a couple i have seen, How Many Exactly US troops in Iraq.How do you get to a certain navel station. How many tanks has US got in Iraq. Do you know when a certain Division is about to be moved over to Iraq. these are just some of the ones i think are suspicious.

I have a cousin whose husband was in Iraq when she gave birth to their son. I don't think he was there for the delivery, but did come home for a couple of weeks. He then went back. So in a way, I guess to some extent, yes.

I'm an American living in Jordan, and I actually know quite a few Iraqis. I find that most of them really actually like americans, but think that George Bush is crazy. Most arabs ar really good about distinguishing people from their governments, i.e. we dont get blamed for what our government has done.

Yeah! There are people like me out there! I agree 100%. People are forgetting that Iraq wasn't exactly the peaceful little place people thought it was before we got there. If we leave now, a huge civil war will erupt between all these different muslim groups to try to control power.

Well, I can tell you from my experiance that I thought we where making a difference. But I can also tell you I have friends I served with that think we are not. So the answers here will deffinately be as varied as the political parties we have in our country. Democracy is something that Iraq has never had. EVER! So there has been alot of problems. Theres Bath party members (That party was banned) Causing trouble. Religious differences, causing trouble. And a large and I mean very large segment of the population that do want to be free, go to work and just raise there families. The Kurds in the northern part of the country have had zero problem with all this and are doing very well. Whats the long term prognosis? I Don't know, I wish I had a crystal ball and could tell you and everyone for that matter. I believe in what we tried to do, and certainly feel it was the best for them, us, and everybody else in the world. I was in neighborhoods where everyone shook your hand and smiled, and they where all friendly. Two blocks away someone set up an IED, and people watched them do it, and nobody said a word to us. Theres alot of faces in Iraq, too many to be honest. But we are trying, and probably only time will tell. I'm being optimistic, but there will be others that are not.\n\nYour right Katie, they certainly do, it always made my day brighter.

Yes,  I am deployed now (although only to Kuwait, not Iraq) and my soldiers are able to take online courses and other course taught here on camp.  When we first arrived I put in an application to teach undergraduate courses (I have my Master's Degree) and have already taught one term.  I am sure that educational opportunities are more limited in Iraq and would greatly depend on a soldier's location and computer access.

I'm in Iraq right now. Me being on here should give you an idea of what I'M doing...nothing. What's it like? HOT! Alot of people do have it pretty rough over here though, but I wouldn't say the majority have it all that bad. It just sucks being away from home for so long. I don't think it's really getting better. They're gonna fight us as long as we're here.

Hi, I am an Englishman and never visited the States. I suppose like many people I would have to say that I have had mixed feelings about the USA. Most of the information regarding world events etc comes via the media and does not I think always give the most unbiased opinion. Not just in political events. We all see popular shows like Oprah and this without doubt has a profoundly negative effect. We see in the main what can only be described as weirdos and have to wonder if these strange selfish people are indicative of the country as a whole.\nHigh consumers, irresponsible ecological attitude and a me, me, me mind set.\nAll sounds horrible doesn't it? Thankfully there is the Internet where over the past couple of years I have made some excellent friends who have illustrated that there is a far more caring and unselfish, generous aspect to many of the citizens of the US than I previously thought. \nMy country and yours have been strong allies both economically and in time of conflict and shared a whole lot together. I personally hope that this will always be the case.\nWho knows what may happen in Iraq, North Korea and the rest of the world. But I believe that in the main (although always influenced by oil) The forces currently in Iraq are trying extremely hard to bring about stability. If they were only allowed to do so, your country and mine could bring our troops home. The sooner the better.\nIn a nut shell I am pro American. OK?
