This is The Ugly American all over again. We know little of their culture- we ignore the real needs for their everyday existence-we are trying to change or force our values on a population that has so many diverse tribes and customs dating back 1000's of years. Have we even established the bare basics for a grass movement? I certainly don't have the answers. I am torn by the greivious loss of our soldiers dying over there and the real fear of terrorists training and planning our destruction. Where do I turn for realistic and honest answers to this war? I am a Vietnam Vet and am still torn with love of my country and our policies and the loss of lives in that war. God Bless Our Servicemen serving this country.
