...perfect world, the lines of communication between students and professors would always be open; feedback on coursework and lectures could flow both ways without interference. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

However, it is clear that we could have used better means of conveying this to the West and the rest...
...take serious steps to first reform the cabinet because we know many of the ministries of the cabinet are not there and there are empty posts. This is important if you want an optimistic future for Iraq. In order for the withdrawal of American and multinational forces to happen, we have to have a very accelerated plan for equipping and supplying and training the Iraqi forces to take over because you can't just withdraw the forces and leave the chance and opportunity - you offer...
