Reply #54: It was great right up to the Civilian Stability Corps part... [View All]

Like military reservists, they will have peacetime jobs; but in times of national need, they will be called into service to restore roads, renovate schools, open hospitals, repair power systems, draft a constitution, or build a police force. A Civilian Stability Corps can bring the best of America to the worst of the world—and reduce pressure on the military.

If anyone should be employed to restore roads, renovate schools, open hospitals, repair power systems, draft a constitution, or build a police force..shouldn't it be the Iraqi people? Providing them with the capital and security is one thing, but Iraq is not our nation!

If we are not willing to even let them draft the Iraqi constitution or rebuild their country, then it is time to leave. Obviously our aid is just an excuse to keep another nation under marshall law.
