Earlier in the month GNN's Borzou Daragahi wrote a very interesting and rather eye opening article/letter from the new capital of Hell, Baghdad.

It's a growing kind of astory that gets past the politics into the reality of the situation and the problems faced. What one tends to come away with is a questioning of how can this be solved without leaving Iraqi's high and dry. The double edged sword of these articles and truth's is that as American's and UK citizens...we really don't want our kids,brothers,sisters,moms, dads, etc. getting killed by the very people they helped free. How much control can politicians half a world away have over problems that realisticly are out of their hands? Legislations, debate, and near endless critiques are great but if a solution does not come out of it all...then we're killing our own people in the same way the enemy is.
From both Presidential Candidates I've yet to here any hard and clear plans for Iraq...between Bush double talking and using catch phrases to Kerry's go to my website line and near idential catch phrasing double talk...one has to ask...of they don't know...who the fuck does?
Articles like this paint a Grim picture that can be easily capitalized on but at the same time one does have to ask...is anything good going on over there?
None of this will be answered come Tuesday...but they better fucking be answered by NEXT Tuesday.
