HW 28: Letter to Riverbend

Dear Riverbend,
You have made some interesting and startling revelations about what you and the rest of the Iraqi people have to go through on a daily basis. The most alarming information that you provided me with was the rotating system of presidents and how each of them have affected the way you live. The fact that there are nine rotating presidents for Iraq is ridiculous and a clear sign that America has no intention of helping this country in the long run. Another aspect of the reading that stood out to me was the information you provided about the reconstruction of Iraq and how Iraqi engineers are not involved in this process. You have brought up good points, why use foreign engineers when you can hire Iraqi engineers for a cheaper price? This is not the only problem but also the style of art that is put into these manmade landmarks is priceless for your people. I respect that and if you want people of your nation to construct those things, then there should be nothing holding that back. I am deeply saddened by the situation that my country has put you and the rest of your nation in. It is hard to understand why this has happened but now I think we need to look forward to the future and solve these obstacles that are right in front of you.
