An Open Letter to Riverbend (HW28)

Dear Riverbend,

I agree with a lot of what you say about the “occupation” as you so call it. I really do think that this war has been a deception to the world with the way things have been handled. I have never seen so many he said she said types of things in politics, and to hear what it’s like from the other side of the war. I knew that the soldiers weren’t nice to the iraqi’s, but the way that you describe how they are to you it seems terrible. But I do understand where they’re coming from, because anyone can be the enemy especially if the soldiers are in enemy territory. It just isn’t fair that the few that are against the soldiers and will act upon it ruin the trust between Iraqis and US troops. It also isn’t fair that no one can do their own jobs there, it all has to be done by foreign companies. I agree that if Iraq rebuilt after the first gulf war, Iraq can rebuild itself now without all the help of foreign countries. The Iraqis should be able to figure out who’s rebuilding and use all of the people who did those jobs before the invasion to help rebuild so the Iraqi population can earn money and rebuild the country’s economy.
