Three years, Peace is still a remote dream to come true

Three years after, the country is still on the brink of civil war, and very doubtfully the life is getting better for the average citizen in Iraq. Dictatorship has to go, but the question is what kind of benefits this has brought to its people. Free Election is one step further towards democracy, but do most people gain anything practical from this? A sense of pride, participation and making decision for themselves, yes maybe, however, when the basic security is not guaranteed, it is a bit like asking someone living below poverty line if he likes a luxury cruise in the Caribbean’s. Of course, it is something nice to have, but how much help that really is for someone who is looking to have his bottom line secured.

There tend to be a big gap between the reality and illusion. The reality is that the world, as much as the complexity of life itself, is a place with imbalances and inequality everywhere. The illusion is that we think there is a cure for all the issues we have in life, once we get the action in place, the world will be a better place. But the trouble is, do we always have the golden formula for all the complicated issues we have, not really. So maybe it is wise to wait until we make a bridge between what we think they need and what they really need.
