My Iraqi friend is from Mosul as well. I pray that things in Iraq will get better and am so sorry for what you and your family have been through. I wish that I could change the situation but as you know ordinary people usually have no controll in what their governments do.

I guess you could say that Iraq has been in a civil war since 1980 with Iran supporting the anti Saddam resistance. America and 13 other countries also supported the Iraqi resistance from 1991 on.<BR/><BR/>Saddam however made a mistake when he tried to kill Papa Bush and Laura in 1993. When W Bush got his chance in 2003, Bush took out Saddam. Unfortunately Bush knew little about Iraq and was completely confused about what to do after he took Saddam out.<BR/><BR/>The Bush policy was confused until the end of 2006, when Rumsfeld was fired. Then the new strategy was to:<BR/>1) train and equip the Iraqi Army and Iraqi Police<BR/>2) protect the Iraqi population and "ONLY" allow American troops draw down from an area when there were sufficient quality Iraqi Army and Iraqi Police to protect them.<BR/>3) Push the Iraqi government on reconstruction and reconciliation with Sunni Arabs<BR/><BR/>Now violence in Iraq (outside of Mosul) is the lowest since 1980. But Iraq has new problems. Net oil revenues is down 80%. Oil prices have fallen from $149/barrel to $35/barrel. Iraq only has $26 billion in annual revenue but is spending $67 billion this year (down from $72 billion last year and the $78.4 billion that was planned for this year before the large first round of spending cuts.)<BR/><BR/>Think about your household if you were spending 2.50 dinars for every 1.00 dinars in earnings you had coming in. You would have a massive problem. This is the devastating problem that Iraq confronts today. The Iraqi government is cutting the programed size, training, equipment and capabilities of the Iraqi Army and Iraqi Police. They will need to cut the Iraqi Army and Iraqi Police much further. Iraq will need to cut spending on health care, education, water, electricity, food rations and other very important social spending. This is very sad but necessary.<BR/><BR/>Iraqis need to start discussing what spending programs they want the Iraqi government to cut.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully oil prices recover, but the Iraqi people can't count on that.Anandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03040200275831896147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313734582740827632.post-65821245254784285042009-01-17T22:58:00.000+03:002009-01-17T22:58:00.000+03:00I've never been to Mosul (i've been to a town near...I've never been to Mosul (i've been to a town near it for a party few months ago..), and now reading this really makes me want to visit.<BR/><BR/>You have put up with a lot, and i remember my childhood from those ages. it wasn't really a childhood at all. <BR/><BR/>Great article, and best wishes,<BR/>your friend.Toutahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564702518449691081noreply@blogger.com
