What they fail to mention most of the time is that these people are so self destructive that they should be left to their own devices. Eventually this place is going to take on the air of US involvement in Africa, usually doomed to fail because the people refuse to help themselves in the end.

But they don't have to be that way. The culture gets to a point where bombs and killing are all the discontented young men know how to do. A little education in the right places and let them see the change they can make for themselves, and it'll help a lot. But if it's not done right, yes, it will blow up in our faces. Again.

They need to step and take our help for the education. We have been there a year now and they should know we are there to help. Its their turn to turn things around we can't do it all. Yes their will be obsticles from their resistance but still.

I've heard that most of the people there just don't know what to do with their freedom. Most are also still afraid of standing up for themselves.

I don't think bowling for columbine will solve the question of why people give in to their base nature and get excited about people dying, and not get excited about schools being built. It does help people to understand gun violence though.


I guess it boils down to the fact that with US soldiers dying over there every day, and the news reports on the deaths yet fails to report on the good stuff that is being done, it puts an anti-war spin on the information. It's no wonder a lot of people here in the states are kind of going, "WTF?" with the occupation. All the information that they get is from news networks that show how many people are dying... even Al Jazeera focuses on the death.
