To The Iraqi People

We have done all we can for you, we have tried to give you freedom and democracy, neither of which you really understand. Our young men and women have sacrificed their lives in hopes you would embrace what we have in America. Now it is time for us to leave, and for you to take back your country, and build whatever it is you want.
The insurgents are not operating as ghosts, you stand in your windows as these people fire weapons at innocent Iraqis, at your neighbors and friends, at your own families. Many of your own people die each week at the hands of your own people. You live in fear, yet turn your back, or worse, support the terrorists.
You have an opportunity to change all this, but you must be willing to fight and die to have freedom. Drive the evil from your neighborhoods, towns, cities, villages. Rise up and take it back, make a government that is non-sectarian, build a government that allows anyone to worship as they please.
You as a people, deserve not to live in fear, to be able to raise your families and have a way of life you choose.
It is evident we can't give it to you, only you can make it better for yourselves at this point. We refuse to have one more of our men and women die for what you are unwilling to do for yourselves. So tell the terrorist, enough, tell your government, enough, and take back your lives!
