Don't They Deserve Support?

I’ve been following the news of the three missing U.S. soldiers since it happened. It’s the talk of the town. Every channel speaks nothing about the war but how to save the lives of those soldiers. It is incredibly amazing how the U.S. government and army are doing their utmost efforts to rescue these soldiers which is something I respect the Americans for. The lives of the soldiers are very much important for them that they offered a two-hundred-thousand-dollar reward to anyone who leads the US army to the place where those soldiers are held.

Since the incident I couldn’t but think of the poor nine Iraqi soldiers who were executed by al-Qaeda militants who sadly control huge parts in the country. I was thinking why didn’t the Iraqi government offered to help or drain a canal to find the missing Iraqi soldiers? Are their souls that cheap? Aren’t they fighting the fiercest enemy on earth? What about their families? Their mothers, sisters, sons and daughters, and wives? Didn’t they deserve to be rescued as well? Is there anything else left to make me respect this terrible government?
