The US has a debt of honor to try to fix Iraq since we broke it. We have, however, mostly fulfilled that debt and it's now up to the Iraqis to take it from here. Further, Iraq doesn't WANT to be like the US. 68% of Iraqis SUPPORT ATTACKS ON AMERICANS. We can't win an Iraqi civil war. And Iraqis are voting on an American presence with their guns. In short I don't believe in the emotional and romantic notion of a struggling democracy. What I see is a bunch of interest groups that have different agendas and are willing to kill each other to get their way. At the same time there are a bunch of terrorist types that are having the time of their lives blowing up Americans. Show me that Iraqis want unified democracy and that they want Americans to provide it for them and I'll side with you. What I see now is a government that 3000 Americans have died for that support Hezbollah. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:219096 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
