Specifically Iraq. Do you think that America as a whole would gain more respect by leaving Iraq either now or within a few months, or alternatively democratize and stabilize the country there which could be done in a few years? Option A would appear to give insurgent factions the upper hand and allow them to run amock committing genocide against other factions in Iraq and take dictatorial power. Option B would appear to give the maliki government a chance to succeed, factions would be brought to the table, al-Qaeda would be kicked out, but at the expense of some more American lives. So what is it, let Iraq stay a quaqmire fomenting al-Qaeda initiatives there? Or let it become a stable government allied with the united states and the international community?
Proof we're kicking out Al-Qaeda

First of all second poster, I am no neocon. Also, I see no other ideas presented from your side than to pull out now or within a few months (benchmarks) which I DID provide for you in Option A. Did you read the question?

What makes you think we candemocratize and stabilize Iraq within a few years. Saddam has been gone for 4 years and it is isn't there yet and our administration says all will collapse if we leave. I'm not willing to wait another four years, spend another $500 million and see another 3,000 US soldiers die to see if we can get them a little further along in their process.

If I have to pick one of your neocon choices as you list I would not be interested.
You see, people, here is a prime example of a neocon and how they operate. They ask for your opinion and then give you choices that they design. They see the world in black and white. Don't talk about several choices or something other than their way or the highway.

well I dont think unilateral military action against anyone that the great CIA or other unintelligence agencies deem Al-Queda is a great way to get international respect. I think Bush outlined his plan crystal clear. He wants indefinite occupation like in S. Korea. His goal is clear and hes going to work the situation to get this to happen.

Al Qaeda is spreading all around the world and a terror plot was stopped this morning.
As usual, Bush's plan isn't working.
