personally im for bush's decision to invade Iraq, but it did not go as smoothly as planned and as for getting out, I guess will have to wait on the upcoming democratic president, right? but do you think that the upcoming democrat pres. will stay out of the middle east for good?

In my experience, peoples of other nations are not as obsessed about money as Americans can be, but, I do think there is resentment among the people of the mid-east towards Americans, and more generally, the west. Part of this resentment stems from Israel, but, also, the middle eastern nations had a proud heritage, they were the pinnacle of enlightenment until the 15th century or so. They were leaders in philosophy, the arts, the sciences, and in commerce for a thousand years or more. The west then became the strongest in these cultural areas while middle eastern nations too a back seat. Militarily, the 17th century spelled the doom of the mid east. Now, they demand recognition based on pride, and, have wrapped this racial pride around religion, and, well, we are at odds. God help us all...

It depends on how soon Iraq is able to have a reasonably stable democratic government in place and not really related to presidential election schedule. Having learn t it's lessons from Vietnam and else where,US has no option but to succeed in Iraq,which is going to become a landmark event for the effectiveness of it's foreign policy in the decades to come.History and all peace loving people shall be thankful to US and it's citizens for their sacrifices for the world peace, at some point of time but not in near future.

I hate people who think we didn't win in Iraq. We have already won in Iraq. We have taken the former dictator and have put in a Democratic Goverment in its place. This is not a war, we are fighting insurgents that choose to hide and blow things up behind women and children. And when they can they strap bombs to those women and children and make them blow up a market place.
Lets see what the future brings. The US has gone through much worse things if this new Goverment in Iraq fails.

Clinton was in office for 8 years and we never left the middle east.
So my answer is NEVER.
We've never left Germany, Japan, Korea (I'm sure there's more) so why do people think we'll just up and leave the middle east? No matter what president we have, we'll always be there.

Its not a war anymore. We won. Iraq won't do anything to help their own country. We will get out of Iraq soon if it's Hillary. We will stay if it's Obama. If we leave it will be devistating.

When Israel is incinerated and the Jews dispersed back to Europe, USA, South Africa, etc....then the USA will leav the Middle East. A stick and a stone will chase them all home.

When they run out of oil. They will no longer be part of our national security interest. After that we will care for them as much as we do for Centeral Africa. We look the other way when genocide happens there, and we will in the Middle East to someday. That day will be in about 60 years, when there oil goes dry.
