Now for the $64,000 question-could we have accomplished this without war? Isn't this what our politicians are supposed to do?
I think McCain's slip of the tongue last week is quite telling. Yes, if loses his bid for the Presidency, it will be because of Iraq; and our folly of invading in the first place. Hillary will be the first to really taste the poison of this foolish decision on Tuesday. | I will agree that we should have never invaded Iraq in the first place. However, the fact remains that we did. It's also a fact that just picking up and leaving isn't as simple as some people might think. We helped create the mess, and we can't leave until it's mostly cleaned up. We are DEFINITELY not ready to abandon Iraq right now!
To leave and "come back" if things don't work out is beyond stupid. I absolutely guarantee you that if we were to leave, and then return, the bloodshed would be massive. I am absolutely certain that if we left now, the need to return would become blatantly obvious in a very short time. |
