What Can I Do?

In listening and watching your American election campaigns, I have noticed much talk about you war in Iraq - how it is an important issue.

This "war" appears to be in bad shape. Why? I suggest that it is because only your politicians and a few businesses own this war - the American people have not taken responsibility for this war.

Have you asked yourself this question: What can I do... to help the Iraqi people?

Perhaps everyone in Iraq needs sunglasses; perhaps it is clean, running water. Perhaps it is safety in walking the streets. Perhaps Iraquis need to be reminded of their opportunity of building a great nation. Perhaps every child in America needs to donate a week's allowance to hire and train Iraqui police. Perhaps orange trees need to be planted along the Tigris.

What dream can you imagine that can turn the acts of war into the acts of peace. What can you demand of the American Government that will help the Iraqui people create their nation with schools and malls and individual freedom. What can I do... in this election and in the coming months, take ownership of this war, consider what you can individually do to create an Iraqi nation and demand the same from your elected officials.
