why do the righties predict iraq will only worsen if the US leaves?

Question

from the moment bush delcared victory, it has gotten steadily worse, no matter how you care to measure it.

and there's nothing to indicate it will improve anytime soon......unless you say only 39 civilians died today,....thats better than 139

Answer 1

We Americans can just leave the Staunch Republicans there by themselves and they can pay their own way too. I would like them to prove their own philosophy.

Answer 2

Any way you cut it, if we pull out of Iraq prematurely, the country is going to come apart at the seams. While the slaughter of innocents may be acceptable to some, I have to go by what Colin Powell said, If you break it, you are going to have to fix it. There is not disagreement that we broke it. But thinking that we can walk away and leave that country in a position where its people are slaughtering each other on a scale that hasn't been seen since Cambodia, is the height of irresponsibility...even if you can blame it on Bush!

Answer 3

Because the attacks are getting much worse and clever on both sides of the Militia groups. The US is holding most of the security on the city, once the Iraqi army is up and fully running to take on the Militias it will get better not worse.

Now with the attempt of chemical weapon attacks, imagine if we left now. No would be able to really stop them. And the body count would in the 1000's a day.

MIght as well do it right the first time since we have the means to, and not let our childerens children deal with the problems in the mid east.

Answer 4

Sunni and Shiite groups are at each others' throats with dampers in place, and you think it will get better once the restraining force is lifted? I wasn't gung-ho for this thing initially, but since it is what it is, I can't see how we can suspend all common sense, and no matter your political views, it's certainly a crappy trick to pile on at the Iraqis' expense just for political gain at home.

Answer 5

The neo-cons' greatest fear is that Iraqis will install a democracy and elect a government that wont bow down to the US and Israel.

By the way, one of the main reasons we attacked Iraq was for Israel.

Answer 6

History says they are right.

1-We left Vietnam and 3-4 million people were slaughtered by the radical Vietnamese and Cambodian governments.
2-We left Lebanon and they descended into over a decade of civial war and ethnic strife and eventually developed into a terrorist haven.
2-We left Somalia and for 14 years it descended into an absolute human rights nightmare with hundreds of thousands more killed after we left and became so bad that no outside governments felt safe keeping an embassy there...not even the U.N.

Now ask yourself....as bad as Iraq is now, do you really think things will improve if we leave?

Answer 7

The present government of Iraq will not be able to defeat the terrorists who demand Islamic rule and sharia law. Their blood lust tactics of terror and murder are well documented.

It should be obvious to anyone that the ensuing blood bath will result in a terrorist controlled state - and that thousands, if not millions, of people who have put their trust in the US to uphold the commitments we have made will be slaughtered mercilessly.

Shame on us if we default on these commitments. We will deserve the inevitable consequences.

Answer 8

History....look what happened in VietNam. Millions died in the ensuing years after the US left.

Did you support going into the Balkans during the Clinton years? That was done to avert mass genocide and civil war. If you supported that and not Iraq you are a hypocrite.

Answer 9

If we leave, Iran moves in and controls the region. And the average person knows this is not good for world secruity. As the person said before, in Vietnam we left before the mission was over, and looked what happened.

Answer 10

They are being munipulated by fear......the media is a tool and has been cutting us up from the inside. The real enemy to the Iraqis and the Americans is the corporations that buy and sell polititions....where is the money..the oil money from the Iraqi oil fields ?? the no bid govt contracts ??? It is all a big money deal and the media is their PR guy.
