First they told us Iraq had WMD and was a threat to America.
Then, when there was no WMD, they told us they were building democracy in Iraq.
Now, that there is a civil war and no democracy, they tell us they can't leave or it will get worse.

What will they say when they DO leave and it DOES get better?

ruth - don't you think you should consider the likelihood of it getting better when we leave, as we set policy now? Or should we just be pleasantly surprised when everything Bush has been telling us turns out to be wrong (again)?

Jeezus, guy. you are able to placed the cart AFTER the pony with your question and ask what the hell is so particular on the subject of the USA that Iran, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia would prefer to attack US. Then, and in basic terms then, will your question be spoke back. (For those of you in Rio Linda, the literal answer to the question as to why we would prefer to attack those countries is to PRE-EMPT, HEAD OFF AND/OR end assaults against US in the previous yet another 9/11 happens.) EDIT: once you're "denomding" the reality, properly, right here that's. Thirty years in the past, in 1978, the Shah of Iran replace into being overthrown by skill of a few wacky bearded fellow by skill of the call of Khomeini, and Carter replace into doing not something approximately U.S. hostages being held there. If issues had long previous my way, your uncle's e book would have examine "The U.S. HAS ALREADY invaded Iran, and collapsed them like a rotten soccer." As for something of those places, the lot who have been drawing paychecks from the CIA understood how risky they have been to the USA, yet President Carter the two did not hear to them or could not understood a word they stated because of the fact HE HAD PEANUTS IN HIS EARS. There. You "Denomded" the reality and that i gave it to you.

Asking Syria to keep the peace is like asking Jesse James to guard the mail. I am just SOOOO impressed with the job they are doing in Lebanon.

Iran probably could and would do it, I tend to look at them differently than most, but Syria? Forget it. What I would do is drop my jaw and say "Now I've seen everything".

Not sure how the Iranians would get along with the Sunni's though, and Kurds are Sunnis too. The record between Shiite and Sunni is not particularly good anywhere, not just Iraq. That is what a lot of the bloodshed in Pakistan is about.

Freakie...it would be nice to have your cake and eat it too...but that's not reality.

Conservatives would love that dream to come true.

The WMD's may have not materialized yet, but even if not, Sadaam was getting ready to escalate and that has been verified with documents confiscated from Iraq. It was a lucky break that the U.S. came in when they did.

The terrorists will not give up unless they get more pressure or until they are dead...

The only ones who will force the US out of Iraq before the job is done are Liberals.

I wish there was a way to keep track of these shortsighted people. When we are forced to intervene in an all out war in the Mid East in ten or fifteen years because the Liberals made us cut and run I want to be sure we send their kids over their first to clean up the mess their parents forced the US to leave behind.

They would say "what parallel universe have we stumbled into?!"... ah hippies, you never fail to amaze me with your naiveity. I'm equally astounded by your intense hate for the western way of life, which you have to thank for being able to BE a hippie in the first place. See, if you were in, say, Syria or Iran, you wouldn't be allowed to be a hippie - they would shoot you. The govt in Iran is just like the Taliban in Afghanistan, and Syria is well known for murdering tens of thousands of it's own people, and you actually believe that they would bring peace!?? I think it's hilarious that you side with evil murderous dictatorship governments who terrorise and slay their own people, rather than our 'not perfect but better than most' govertment which was founded by people who died so that you could be a hippie.

The people protesting against the war in Iraq are the same kind of people who protested against America going to war against the Nazis - self-righteous $%#&@'s who think they're morally superior to everyone, when in fact the opposite is true.

I could go on and on, however I would like you "hippies" to think about one thing: if you knew your neighbour was beating up his wife, raping his children, terrorising other people in your street, stashing shotguns, and was making drugs in his backyard lab, wouldn't you be MORALLY OBLIGATED to stop him? Wouldn't you be obligated to round up your sane neighbours, knock on his door, and take him to jail? I say "YES YOU WOULD", but I wouldn't be surprised if you said no, that it's not your problem (even though your lovely neighbour threatens and threatens you and you know he will eventually follow through). It's EXACTLY the same with Iraq - Sadaam needed to be taken down, and for whatever reason, he was, and that my friend is GOOD and that is the big picture. In this case, the ends certainly justified the means. 10,000 times as many people died under him, oh but you don't care about those people do you?

One more thing - in my city, when Sadaam was executed for his apalling evil, we had thousands of Iraqi refugees dancing in the streets and thanking the US, UK and Australia. But that doesn't suit your anti-West agenda does it?

Bill Clinton will get blamed for it. They will somehow make it into an impossible achievement by Bush when nobody thought it would get better. When in fact, the only way it will get better is if we pull out now and let them settle it, and when we do that, Bush will claim it was because of him or thats how the idiotic right wing conservatives will spin it.

Iran and Syria "keep the peace?"
Get real - this question is simply based on a fantasy.

I will say, look! Its just like every other democracy, a forced democracy happens, then it fails. Then, the Iraqi's will fight for their own country (from al qaeda, syria, and iran after we leave) then they will make it into a democracy and become a US ally, and i will say, "wow, look, history did repeat itself, over and over and over and over again." Who knew history repeating itself could have positive outcomes
