Good point. However, if the Bush administration does not bankrupt the US treasury before our credibility is completely gone, the geopolitical benefits of the region may in time, mean a different imperative there, than in forgotten SE Asia.
On the other hand, if Diebold and the GOP have anything to say about it, we won't have a real election in 2006 or 2008 and global environmental concerns will be a nostalgic memory of the past. karen Leaving Iraq is not to abandon it, there will be an international effort to hopefully short circuit the civil war underway and prevent further genocide CS: Externalization of costs on the level of nation-states, so to speak. but to remain is to keep the insurgency alive, and no amount of wounded pride or historical visions of victory and success will fix this now, as we learned in Vietnam. ...where the cleanup of Agent Orange in SE Asia's breadbasket was left to the others too, and even the great philantrop Clinton refused to even pay a part of it.
