Reader comment on item: In Iraq, Stay the Course - but Change It
Submitted by Juliana Levine (United States), Oct 24, 2006 at 16:47
I do care about the future of Iraq. How things turn out in that nation will determine what type of world my children and grandchildren will live in. If it is a democratic responsible stable nation there will be that much less chaos as a whole as opposed to a nation overrun by radical Islamic terrorists determined to destroy everyone else. The decisions and choices we make in this nation effect the nations around us and visa versa.
