Because I believe you get more of what you focus on. An update about the Good things happening in Iraq.
Last week all the remaining gear that Spirit of America donated to the Marines two weeks ago for 7 Iraqi owned and operated TV stations has arrived at Camp Blue Diamond – the Marines Division Headquarters in Ar Ramadi, Iraq. Read all about it on the Spirit of America Blog.
I also found a great project: Operation Iraqi Children. During and after Operation Iraqi Freedom, American soldiers were horrified at the squalor of Iraqi schools. Moved by the plight of these children, many American soldiers have taken it upon themselves to help. Working in small groups on their days off, soldiers gather supplies sent by family members and church groups and take them to villages, sometimes coming under fire as they work to reconstruct the schools and deliver learning tools to Iraqi kids. Read about the great things they've done already.
So remember. Even though horrible things happend and you see those pictures everywhere, good things are also happening. Give it time, Europe wasn't rebuild, stable and peacefull in may 1945 when the Germans surrendered nor was it one year later. It took time, faith and hard work.
Nice post sweetie! Things like this don't make it on television. Good to know good things do happen there.
Although I think it is good to consider other developments than just the bad stuff in Iraq, I wish you would stop comparing what is happening there with WWII. WWII was a conflict of nations before the USA and its allies intervened, while the things going on in Iraq are essentially national issues. It's the western world that has turned it into in an international war.
Over here in the states its rare to hear the good stuff happening there so this was nice to read!! thanks!
Great Post! Keep up the good work!
