Iraq, Afghanistan

Tony Blair is making a last official visit to Iraq. The 2003 Iraq War was very controversial issue and you can probably debate forever about its legality or whether it was right or wrong.But what the international community must not do is that walking-away from the still trouble regions like Iraq and Afghanistan.Security situation in Iraq is still very problematic and people often say it was better before comparing between Saddam’s era and the present days. But what they do have now and did not before is that there is now a Democratically elected government and people have a right to choose. This is a fundamental principle of Democracy and it takes longer time to flourish.I would like to believe that Democracy can grow not only on a nourished ground but also on a rough and unfertile one. Only time can tell. In the mean time, it is a responsibility of the international community to support reconstruction of those trouble regions.
