Iraq
Israel
Lebanon
Syria
Iran
Gaza Strip
Palestinian State
Afghanistan
Pakistan
Somalia
North Korea
Mexico
Venezuela
Congo
Cuba
Darfur (Sudan)
Kenya
Haiti

Does anyone know of any websites that could help me with this, or have any knowledge on any of these? I have no clue.

tracy asked:


I just received an email from my son and he is concerned about voting in the upcoming Presidential election. He is in Iraq. After asking several superiors, he has not gotten a clear answer. Anybody here know what I can tell him, or do I need to contact our Congressperson? Thanks.
If our troops vote by absentee ballot, who is responsible for getting them the absentee ballot to mail in?

Why do most americans want Iraq to be a safe haven for terrorists?

Monday, May 24th, 2010

bionicleis2cool117 asked:


The reason why Bush is keeping our soldiers in Iraq is to stop the insurgency from making Iraq into another safe haven for terrorists. He’s said that that is the reason, many times. If we left Iraq tommorow without stopping the insurgency, the terrorists would use Iraq as a hideout to launch a second terrorist attack on America. If that happened, we would need to put the troops in Iraq back into Iraq. Why should we leave Iraq then?

How is the extra money being spent in Iraq affecting the US economy?

Saturday, May 15th, 2010
iraq
Old Man from Scene 24 asked:


I often hear economists saying some financial trend or another is being caused by the housing crunch or a hurricane or China building for the Olympics. But the massive amounts of money being directed to Iraq must be coming from somewhere and taking money from something else. Wouldn’t that much money leaving the US be a bigger hit on the economy than a storm in Texas?
What is being affected economically by the Iraq war?

How to avoid being kidnapped and a target for snipers in Iraq?

Cody B asked:


Like what tracking devices to get and code message, etc.
I just watch the video of Nick Berg, Daniel Pearl and some American soldiers and it give me chills down my spine.
I was thinking how can we prevent incidents like those from not happening in the first place.
I am getting deployed to Iraq.
