HW35: An Open Letter to Riverbend
Riverbend,
I think after reading your blog, I have so much more insight and knowledge about what is going on in “The Occupation against Iraq”. Being American, I think we don’t know what is really going on over Iraq and seeing your posts makes us aware of what’s really happening, since we are seeing a one sided story. I couldn’t ever imagine being in your position, not being able to sleep at night or only getting a couple of hours. I cant imagine not going out of the house when I please or being escorted by someone all the time. I can’t be in the house for a day with out getting aggravated and bored. I have to go out and do something at least. I feel like your freedom is being taken away, you cant go anywhere you please, you cant work. Also, I feel like I have a little more insight about the politics of the war. I know more about the government aspect of how your governing your country. Thinking of nine presidents running a country is really interesting to me. The way you describe them as “puppets.” Ahmad Al-Chalabi makes me angry because he thinks he’s god gift, which I can only imagine given power he would extend his ego farther than needed anyways.
