I think we can speculate until the cows come home over what's good or not good for Iraq, but when the dust settles it's the people of the region who will decide, not us. We did them a single favor, getting rid of Saddam, but at a cost so high that any good that could have come of it has been obliterated by collateral damage.
There is no military solution in the ME. The gambit to seize authority in the region is as ill-fated today as it was with every other occupier in history. We need to get our military out of there without wasting another life in pursuit of something that cannot be achieved. Bush's handlers are right when they say withdrawing wouldn't end it. That is true, and it will remain true until we come to terms with what's happened to our gov't and fix THAT problem. We've been barking up the most cleverly disguised wrong tree all along. We were fooled with Vietnam, but we've been duped like never before with the ME. Are 300 million people really so stupid? Or is it that we have no way to organize?
