More Miscommunication in the War Zone

Kerim at Savage Minds has a new post expanding on his ideas about cross-cultural miscommunication between US soldiers and Iraqi civilians. He suggests that, contrary to supporters of the military's Human Terrain System, advice from 'expert' researchers is neither necessary nor always helpful in avoiding miscommunication. (My comments on Kerim's earlier post are here.)

America's only reason in Iraq is for the oil, they just invented some excuse so they can enter territory, and so is with some of the others countries they attacked.

As much as there are discouragements, it is true that mathematics is hard. Like in my case, I was never discouraged by anyone about math but I still find it very hard and that is why I am requesting your math assignment help. I am tired of struggling with mathematics and spending sleepless nights trying to solve sums that I still don’t get right. Having gone through your math homework help, I am sure that I will get the right help through you. Please tell me what I need to be able to hire you.
