Liberal or not, at least she recognizes that the future is about succeeding in Iraq and that’s the best way to bring peace; not leaving and allowing Al Qaeda to regroup.
I am glad to see what she is doing to help the people of Iraq. This is one of those rare instances where putting aside political differences to help suffering people proves to be the best hope and the answer to solving the problems of the world.
If only more celebrities would take a productive role in the fight against terrorism and human rights abuse.
As for the question of whether the surge is working, I can only state what I witnessed: U.N. staff and those of non-governmental organizations seem to feel they have the right set of circumstances to attempt to scale up their programs. And when I asked the troops if they wanted to go home as soon as possible, they said that they miss home but feel invested in Iraq. They have lost many friends and want to be a part of the humanitarian progress they now feel is possible.
