- Tonight I watched and listened with interest the segment with Kirk Johnson. I too am concerned about this issue of the subject discussed. After serving three plus years in Afghanistan working with translatetors and support personnel, I am concerned about their future.
How can I get in touch with Mr. Johnson?

- I nor the US government owe them anything, this is what it takes for democratic government to be put into place. We (america) have given them the starting point and the lives of our children. I don''''t owe them anything, they need to stand up and fight also.

Don''t you mean the Government Bush want''s put in? IF the only thing we were out to do was rid them of a Dictator so they could govern themselves our Troops should have been home long ago!! That''s what''s so funny about these bootlickers. They bought the first lies, the lies told to cover up the first one''s, then they bought the next set to cover up for that group.... They even bought the LIE of the Surge... THAT''s why these people are in DANGER.... - Reply to this comment
- This sense of Entitlement is scary. I empathize with the Iraqis that assisted the U.S. but there is another group of which I am more concerned. There are thousands of American service men and women who cannot receive good medical care after serving their Country. Their families are being evicted and falling into debt because of this War. I hate to say this, but we need to take care of our own before we help others.

- It is heartbreaking for me as an American citizen to see how those Iraqui are treated by us right now. We need to help most of them.
A message to Kirk Johnson: Good job, man, I am proud of you. If I can help. please let me know. I could take care of a single woman with or without children and sponser her until she will get back on her feet.
What do you think? - Reply to this comment
- We have room in our house. We will make those heros welcome in our town. Let us know what it takes to bring these fine people some comfort. Our government is a disgrace. It is time for the people of this nation to stand up to the ineffectual bureaucrats and political hacks we are allowing to shame our country. We are better than this.

- I just watched the show on the Iraqi people being abandoned by the US Government,and make no mistake, they ARE going to be abandoned. How many Vietnamese and Hmong did we abandon in that tragic tale? For being the best Country in the world we have a sorry record of helping our so called friends
