Why is Iraq so easy to harm and so hard to help?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The people of Iraq have suffered greatly.
Iraq is a country that has been invaded. It's not a failing state that you want to help. It's a country that was functioning good or bad, with a horrible dictator, but you have invaded.
The road ahead is not easy. Iraq is currently the center of the war on terror.
After all the sacrifice in Afghanistan and Iraq, why do we find ourselves in a more dangerous world?
Iraq is a manufactured conflict for the sake of geopolitical dominance in the area.
America has shown its evil intentions, and the proud Iraqi people cannot accept it. They must defend their rights by any means they see fit.
Iraq is falling apart.
There is no question that Iraq is one of the main problems. You'd have to be blind not to see what a magnet and generating force it's become for terrorist groups.
When we came to Iraq, we didn't understand the complexity - what it meant for a society to live under a brutal dictatorship with ethnic and sectarian divisions. When we first got here, we made a lot of mistakes. We were like a blind man, trying to do the right thing but breaking a lot of things.
Iraq can emerge as a beacon of hope and democracy in the Middle East, and the world, with our help.
