Kris asked:


I’ve been in Iraq for well over a year and while I have been pretty much out of harm’s way for the most part, it has been a rough year emotionally. I have not been diagnosed with depression before because I never saw a psychiatrist or anyone of that nature, however, I can tell you that for a good part of ten years, I’ve been having a series of depression which last for several days.

Here in Iraq, it’s been the most prominent. I would get depressed and feel empty inside and this will last for a week and then I would feel better for a week and get depressed for another week and feel better for three weeks. Usually, my depression is sudden. I would be at work and I will feel fine and then all of a sudden I would feel this uncontrollable saddness and empty feeling inside me. Almost like disappointment or like I lost something. Which would eventually turn into iritability and hostility and back to silence again.

I want to see a real psyciatrist but don’t know what to do. Thanks.

It seems the biggest problem over in Iraq is IEDs (improvised explosive devices) they are hidden everywhere and pose a real problem to US military forces. They are working on new vehicles that are more resistant against IED attacks, but what do you think would be a good defense against IEDs? PLEASE - no anti-war junk! 10 points!

McCain is keen on using more troops in Iraq instead of bringing them home. The enemy wants America to give up and go home. So, they want Mac to lose in November, they hope that we will have a new president who’s name is the same as their country’s, but with a b. If they kill enough people in October they will prove Mac was wrong and make him look dumber. They have a truce now, but that is only for 6 months. They could be busy making bombs and recruiting martyrs.

Yahoo Sucks asked:


Many people have proposed the idea of granting sovereignty to different regions within Iraq. I’m on the fence with this idea as I do not fully understand the cultural diversity in Iraq. I will say that Iraq gained sovereignty from Britain in 1932, the Kurd’s have been without a country for some time and Saddam had been using tribal leadership to hold Iraq together under his rule.

What are the pros and cons of granting sovereignty to the different regions within Iraq?

NONAME asked:


Let’s turn the situation around a second. Had we not gone to Iraq and accomplished (maybe not 100% obviously) what has been done, what would the situation be like today? Would we have regretted then another terrorist attack? What situation would the people of Iraq be going through now under Sadaam’s rule?

I know there could be several variabled involved, but in short, my friend is asking her stepdad to send a cord from a camera here to Washington state.

He’s stationed in iraq, and i just wanted to get a rough idea of how long its going to take to get here. I wanted to ask my friend, but i really didn’t want to be rude about it considering its a touchy subject for her.

Can you help me with specific examples that compare the U.S.’s involvement in the Iraq conflict to the U.S.’s involvement in the Cold War?

I’m trying to write a paper and need suggestions to back up the theory.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

I keep hearing how ‘rosy’ things are going in Iraq–and I keep reading reports that things aren’t what they seem to be.

Why are we getting two conflicting viewpoints on just how the war is going?
