Are they hoping to break their international record of 55 million killed world wide during WWII because they wouldn't face Hitler (until Germany declared war on the US)?

If we take most of these answers at face value they seem to back the supporters of the NYC riots of the 1860's. Their claim was that the lives of the "Africans" were not worth their blood.
Good thing the French didn't have most of your sentiments during the Am Rev.
A liitle history goes along way.
With regard to conservatives being isolationsits - America, Great Britan & France were all islolationist after WWI; not just their conservative party's. The difference was the liberal cowards in the US refused to help when the slaughter started and didn't get directly involved until attacked by Japan and Hitler declared war on us. Please don't bore me with lend/lease rhetoric.

No one can predict "how many millions will be killed when we withdraw from the middle east".
There's going to be bloodshed whether the US stays or goes. And no matter when the US stops babysitting the arabs' civil war, they will be fighting it out when we're gone. The question is how many American lives will we sacrifice by staying.

And, wow, you certainly have a different view of history. The conservatives were isolationist in the World War II era; they were the ones who did not want to get involved in another war overseas.

People will be killed regardless of the US troops stay or leave. There is no right or wrong in this issue. Its just which is more important and what you are prepared to lose. World peace and go on being a Super cop nation or Peace at home with happy families and troops with the world going to hell.
To you people dying there is important to the US troops its the death of fellow soldiers and brothers that is important.
To the government would be will the people vote them in again.
Peacekeeping there prevents the situation from exploding into a full blown regional war. With all the Mad fanatics there giving them some breathing room will cause them to multiply rapidly. Which may cost more lives to put out.
But with troops morel so low the support and the will to fight there is not there. It really is not their war. They are just fighting a war which they don't understand and dislike.
So what should be done?
The US is caught between a rock and a hard place.

We were wise and civil to avoid as best possible the European war confrontations prevalent in WWII. Given our emergence from The Depression, the US simply didn't have the free resources of monetary excess to dive into battle.

This was evidenced by US War Dept. posters calling for EVERY AMERICAN to excercise their patriotic duty and "pitch in" to help "our boys" overseas.....or were you absent in history class when this fact was brought out?

What was true in WWII, Korea and Vietnam is so true today: We simply can't affort the $50 BILLION DOLLAR a month war pricetag!! Take a look around when you drive by the gas station and see per gallon prices.

It's one thing to help weak overseas allied countries against oppressive foes; it's another to drain OUR country's monetary resources BAILING out a weak country when they're threatened by a bully country. And God forbid we handle the "bullies" the right way anymore---and risk getting scorned by the UN!!

I say we've done all we humanely can for Iraq: it's time for THEM to make the declaritive stand against their enemies.....much like we, the United States at one time did towards Britian.....over 200 years ago.

How many French and Vietnamese died when 'Mr. Clean" Ike Eisenhower played the "benign incompetent" and would never deliver promised aid to French forces on time?
The answer is, as many as he wanted to die, before we stepped in to take over after both sides got worn out over fighting each other for ten years.
We hesitated getting into both World Wars in the same way and for the same reasons,. It is grand strategy...
Why go in at the beginning and get all our forces wiped out, when we can go in later after the worst is over and 'claim victory', and get all the spoils, which is what we did in both wars, and also tried in Vietnam.

There is no way to predict how many will die, and as a previous poster mentioned, there will be bloodshed no matter what. And as far as the moron who said that the liberals are trying to create another vietnam, ummm, hello!! This already IS, another vietnam. Vietnam was an unpopular war started under incredibly questionable circumstances that ended up being shown later to be lies. The management of that war was questionable, as was the intelligence reporting on our so-called progress in the war. In Vietnam they were measuring success by how many of the enemy we killed, in Iraq, they're measuring it by the decrease of car bombings in Baghdad. Now there's a solid means of analysis!! This war didn't need anybody's help becoming a vietnam.

well the facts is that thousands are being killed today , with no stability in sight .Your right leaving will cause millions of people to die , but baby sitting a incompetent government at the cost of American lives isn't such a good idea either.especially when they are about to take a month long vacation.

Wow, what a great heroic patriot you are...! I'll bet you talked your kids into going right down to the recruiter's office and enlisting right away when we declared war didn't you?

Nope, you want the "panty waist libs" kids fighting Dirty Dick Cheney's so called war on terror don't you...

How do we know that millions will be killed if we withdraw? Is there a crystal ball that most of us have not heard about?

I do know one thing though. All of those American soldiers that are dying to fight some other countries battles(a country that hates us) will be home with their loved ones and not over there dying.

They're contradicting and a bit hypocritical. Right now they're tired of Iraqi "civilians" dying. But, if we pull out millions of their civilians will die, especially women and young girls who will be turned over to new rape camps. The new reign of terror that opens up in this region will dwarf anything Saddam ever did.

Ours will die too when they're no longer entertained by American soldiers being so close and bring their "Jihad" back over here.

More self-righteous, egotistical crap....
Where do you red-neck morons come from? Do you honestly think the US has saved lives anywhere in the world...EVER?
The US is an over-bearing, militaristic, bully who ranks among the most insidious dictatorships in history.

Get over yourselves and leave the rest of the world alone.

The rest of the world would be a much more peaceful place without your governments sticky-beak, big-brother, interventionist crap.
