Yesterday the truth came out: the war in Iraq is an attempt to draw terrorist to Iraq and away from the United States. A certain general said that to my boss.
Is this a war we can win? Its a war we can pull out of. The Iraqi people as far as I can tell just want peace and they don't know who will give it. Its not in their charachter to fight for a democracy. Its not our business to force them to. The police and soldiers we have trained here face extremely dangerous jobs manning check points and going door to door but I think they take the risk because they want to take out the danger from the insurgents but I don't know that they have a sense of nationalism at the foundation. Iraqis operate in a group effort mentality. We were briefed on this before coming over here. Only when the nation as a whole decides to destroy the insurgents will it happen.
