How to save Iraq

Omar Fekeiki is a 29 year old Iraqi journalist and he has a plan. This might be the only way to save Iraq, but can America listen?

Americans don’t listen to Iraqis. They never did. They listen only to Iraqis who left Iraq in the 1950s and ’60s and ’70s. Saddam Hussein was still the same when they came back, but Iraqis have changed. And this is one of the problems. If you don’t know the people, you can’t bring them what they want. So they need to listen to someone my age, someone who’s been in Iraq all the time. Because we’ve gone through the three wars and the invasion. We know what we need now. We’ve gone through the sanctions.

This is one of the best articles about Iraq and how to save the people who have suffered so much due to our ineptness. The democrat plan to just leave them is a disaster waiting to happen, the republican plan to continue with Bush’s war is another disaster…Is there anyone brave enough to listen to the Iraqi people? This is a longish article but worth the read. Bravo to Omar Fekeike and also to Gary Kamiya for writing it.
