Loathe, are we fighting the right people though? Are we having those kids killed in a cause that is worth anything, or are we just in the middle of a bar fight between rival gangs we have no stake in? Are we even actually fighting the people that did the things you listed below?
What do we gain by holding Baghdad or Falusah that is worth the loss of blood? What would be the problem of pulling out, but staying close enough to kick the every living hell out of anyone who pisses us off in there again? I certainly don't have all the answers, but are we really doing anthing useful in Iraq? Or in Afghanistan for that matter, with the approach and manning levels we have in place there?
