First I think you have break up the Middle East into a few issues: (1.) Al Quaeda. Iraq does nothing to help fight them, and probably makes it worse. The best way to fight AQ is a covert special forces war coupled with great foreign policy and top notch intelligence. Basically we need roving bands of assassins who occasionally call in the big stuff. (2.) WMD. This is still a real threat! We need to get other special forces out hunting for WMD, scientists for sale, labs, etc and taking them out. Find the missing nukes. Find the enriched Uranium. Find the biological and chemical labs, etc (3.) Muslim Extemism. We need a workable foreign policy that doesn't create terrorists. WWII was about fighting a prideful people who's will was beaten down. Seems we're fighting the same problem in the Middle East. (4.) Middle East Instability. This is where Iraq comes in. I say leave; slowly, but leave. If it implodes, well, we did the best we could. We may be horseshit at nation-building but we're still awesome at nation-destroying. Whomever takes over Iraq can be our friend or eat Tomahawk. Afghanistan is a perfect base for us. (5.) South Korea. They still there! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
