And it's looking more and more like we won't get anything and we'll likely lose things; whether we leave now or 10 years from now. The internal disputes will still be there, and may turn to war. Iran will still want to crush Iraq, and there'll be extraordinary pressure on any Iraq to turn away from the west. Which means we may end up with an enemy. Now or later. There's been trouble in the Middle East since WWII and I see no reason why Iraq will change that. Maybe the will to fight is lost because nobody has defined what we're fighting for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:218622 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
