I keep hearing the GOP harping on the Democrats for advocating defeat in Iraq, but defeat in Iraq has never been clearly defined by the GOP or the Bush Administration. If defeat in Iraq is possible, then victory in Iraq must also be possible, yet the GOP has never clearly defined the term Victory in Iraq either. I hear a lot about terrorism, but mostly terrorism has nothing to do with Iraq anymore than terrorism has to do with other countries around the world.
The US won a victory in Iraq over Saddam Hussein and his army, even though the war was not necessary and should never have been waged. The war only lasted days. Ever since the US won victory in Iraq, the US mission seem to be a protection of an American support government created in the image of US democracy, but that solution does not seem to make the Iraqi people happy, nor is it in accordance with the wishes of the majority of the Iraqi people. The US mission to democratise the Iraqi people has destroyed the countries, caused many senseless and unnecessary deaths, and destory the Iraqi culture and way of life. It has made the life of the Iraq people miserable and bitter. Is the idea of forcing Democracy on the Iraqi people wrong. Probably yes. An insurrection of the Iraqi people against an occupation of their country by foreign force, couple with an internal civil struggle for power and control of the country, does not constitute war against the US, and where their is no war, there is no possibility of victory or defeat. The civil strife in Iraq has been going on for centuries, and is not something that America can fix in a few years. It is time for America to disengage from Iraq, because only the Iraqi people can decide what they want for a country so far as society, religion, and government is concerned. The American people, and all her armies cannot force the Iraqi people to love an imposed government fashioned after US Democracy, any more than the American people, and all her armies, can force the Iraqi people lover a US God as opposed to a God of the Iraqi people's own understanding.
