What do you think would happen if we pulled our troups out of iraq and just nuked the place?

That would only serve to make us look bad in the eyes of the rest of the world. And I mean worse than we look as it is.

Terrible idea. We made many mistakes in Iraq. The two major ones I can think of are fighting a politically correct war which made it impossible to actually win the peace in as short a time as possible (something that is inherently evil) and the second was misinterpreting what has made our country great. There has been lots of celebratory talk about bringing "democracy" to the Middle East through Iraq. However, this is an insult to what our style of government actually is and why it has been so successful. Our country is not a democracy, it is a constitutional republic and its cornerstone is individual liberty as protected in the Constitution's Bill of Rights. How can we "liberate" a country, yet not protect the religious liberties of the population by allowing religious law to take hold?

Disregarding for the moment Iraq, you are probably not aware of the fact, that any large scale nuclear explosion can easily effect the entire earth, and that includes us!
The damaging nuclear particles travel in the atmosphere around the whole planet, as they did in the explosion of the nuclear reactor of Chernobil in Ukraine some time ago!
If you want to kill our own children, go ahead and "nuke" Iraq!

It would kill a bunch of civilians and we would still have a war to fight. There would still be insurgents, along with Iran among others. The only reason to use a nuke would be to end a massive war and prevent other ones.

Interestingly, a lot of my democrat friends are advocating just that course of action.
puts the lie to the party leaders in Washington claiming that Americans voted against the war eh?
i'd rather nuke Iran though, honestly. and i suspect that would take care of most of Iraq's troubles, too.
