Now here's a thought

Here’s something that should have been done 3 years ago in Iraq. Jobs. It could have been that easy. I do not think we should go into a country with contractors that hire foreign help to rebuild Iraqi neighborhoods and infrastructure. People naturally do not have the pride that would be associated with being a bigger part of the rebuilding process. If you put your blood and sweat into a project, you would make damn sure no-one blows it up. If more Iraqi people were put to work sooner I do not think you would have the animosity that exists today. You also wouldn’t have as many angry, unemployed young men running around feeling they need to pick up a gun to make a difference or blow themselves up so their family gets fed.
