America falls into another struggle overseas.


Democracy in the Middle East has been the Bush administrations primary goal after the September 11th terrorist attack, and I now understand the term, “It feels like the world’s on my shoulders.”

While America had sent hundreds of thousands of troops to fight for “democracy” in these outside countries, as Bush nears the end of his reign as Chief of State, what will happen in Iraq?

Several journalists in the middle of the revolution feel as if nothing has been accomplished. Sulaiman al-Hattlan of Forbes Arabia told the New York Times this:

"It feels like everything is going back to the bad old days, as if we never went through any changes at all, "Everyone is convinced now that there was no serious or genuine belief in change from the governments. It was just a reaction to pressure by the international media and the U.S."

This may be the most interesting November election ever. With so much at stake, and Americas’ hand in so many cookie jars, the government better formulate a plan that for once aims at peace and not green paper (money). Taking one step forward and two steps back will get you nowhere.
