It is agreed by all that once the US leaves, Iraq will descend into civil war and it is possible that terrorists will acquire governing authority there: as bad as Saddam Hussein was, he was better than that, and he should have been left in power. But given that he wasn't, some means must be found to cope with the disaster that Mr. Bush's policy has produced there. If it is going to be a disaster whatever we do, why not leave next week--as soon as troop ships and planes can be readied. Then, if it were up to me, I would station powerful missiles in Kuwait and let the Iraqis know that if they came up with a government that we could tolerate on their own, we would do all we could do to help it succeed, but if they came up with one we could not tolerate, the missiles would fly from Kuwait, and would continue to fly from Kuwait, until they did come up with a government we could tolerate. Not pretty. I would also redeploy to Afghanistan and exterminate the Taliban to the last--they were responsible for 9-11, not only do they deserve death, it is only in completely irradicating the Taliban that the US can possibly be safe from terrorism. To leave any Taliban is equivalent to leaving a tumor. They must be eliminated to the last man.

Yes. We have no business being there in the first place. Iraq has nothing to do with the so-called War On Terrorism. It's about oil.
The attacks of 9/11 were pre-selected military/corporate targets. Very few Americans were affected aside from the media hype.
The attacks were carried out by Saudi Arabian pilots. So if Iraq is about the War On Terror why didn't we invade and take over Saudi Arabia?
Pull the wool off your head and quit believing what the owners of the Federal Reserve are trying to sell you. Turn off your television, tune out from radio, never read what's in the newspapers.
Use your brain instead and inform others. We need to listen to the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and stay out of foreign entanglements. When we decide to go to War we should follow the United States Constitution and Declare War.
Everytime we've failed to Declare War we've lost. Everytime we've Declared War we've won. Do the math!
Support Ron Paul for President! Restore the Republic!

I wish there was an easy answer to that... If we do. We create a giant power vacuum which millions of people will be massacred. We will also give the middle east countries that hate us confidence to attack us. If we don't thousands more American lives will be lost. Hundreds of thousands of Iraq lives will be lost, and we will continue to dump billions of dollars a month into a campaign that if fueling terrorism and weakening our overall military power. Which door do you pick..?

I was not in favor of invading Iraq but we did and now I don't know what we should do. I guess history will determine if the decision was right or wrong. But it's like this if you start something you should finish it. But that's just my opinion you make up your own mind and I will respect your decision and not make fun of you we all have the right to our own opinion.

Shouldn't have gone in the first place. It's too f***ed up to leave now. Can't just leave a hell hole we created. The main reason we went there was for oil, yet we have so much in alaska and in our own country. Yet the same people protesting this war, are the same damn tree huggers that won't allow us to drill for oil in alaska and maybe kill a couple whales. A few dead whales and a few chopped down trees is better than 3000 dead U.S. soldiers and countless civilians, in my book. It's all about weighing out pros and cons.

No. we need to hide in little groups all over and do servalance and tab on peoples shoulders when the goverment needs us too, like in South Korea. But it shouldn't be just ut (it wasn't just us in Kosovo whe n ethnic cleansing was going on there) it needs to be the UN. With a lot of Us involvment.

We have done enough harm to Iraq. We need to get out and let them settle the civil war Bush started. We need to stop stealing their oil, killing their citizens and our citizens and go home. Bush is an evil war monger and war profiteer. So in Cheney.

We need to get our people out of the crossfire. Iraq is in a state of civil war and we should stand back and let them settle it.

yes. there are people's lives at stake and not just our soldiers. innocent civilians are being killed. i think we're hurting more than helping in iraq. war is hypocritical in a world where we teach children that violence is never the answer. we go rampaging a country because we don't like how they run their government. that is terrible.

Yes - they are in the midst of a civil war. They are going to have to fight it out. Why should our boys die for nothing? There is no solution that will end soon except to march on out- as we marched on in.
It is not the soldiers job to liberate these people if they don't want to liberate themselves.
