Iraq, Changing my mind

We Must withdraw, now

Published on February 24, 2006 By Moderateman In Politics

Watching the news and seeing how much hate these factions of the same
religion have for each other. Its time for us to cut and leave them to there own devices.

We are going to have to leave sometime and when we do they are going to kill each other anyways, so we must stop spending so much in human life and money to support a people that is headed for civil war.

We had our own civil war and we recuperated from it, let them do the same.

WITHDRAW OUR TROOPS NOW!

But it is always going to be a propaganda of death, steven. When we took the stance of isolation, we were starving children. When we unseated Sadaam and offered democracy, we were murdering children. When we leave, we'll be abandoning children.

I don't think it is a matter of leaving, it is a matter of finally deciding to STOP listening to this death toll propaganda and do ENOUGH killing to ensure the people preying on innocents are finally defeated. We are so afraid of killing people at this point that we are just standing by and watching them kill each other.

It's a maddening killing field now--it's worth the chance to try a new strategy.

Would the new strategy be leaving Iraq alone?

Wasn't that already tried in the 1980s? Didn't the world decide that it was too expensive in lives and neighbouring countries lost?

I wonder why this is not showing up in my article list?

mean, where is everyone crying for all the Iraqi children, yadda yadda? I'm amazed that people who have lamented and inflated the deathtoll in Iraq could now easily shift to not really caring if they kill each other. Now all those who threw a fit because Iraq might end up a terrorist stronghold want to hand it over to them.

well baker I just see this differently than you do, I believe no matter what we do there will be civil war and if we are there we will lose many many more troops than we have lost up to this date.

we freed them from sadam, trained there people to defend themselves, poured billions into the country, gave countless american lives, let them civil war already, we can return and clean up the mess.

Wouldn't it be sufficient to withdraw to Kurdistan and leave the Arabs to do whatever they like?

Kurdistan seems quite safe, they actually want an American presence, and it seems a fun place.

I still don't believe that such a war is upcoming, but a withdrawl to Kurdistan is fine with me.

I figure one more bombing of a holy shrine either a sunni shrine or a shiite one will touch it off., Only time will tell for sure, I HOPE i AM wrong, but I doubt it.

I pray that an all out civil war does not start until AFTER we have removed our troops. However, I am very sure that a civil war will result in Iraq. The factions will not allow a fledgling government to exercise the control required to prevent a civil war. As was correctly pointed out, it took a civil war in our country to settle a very basic issue.

If an all out civil war does develop while we have our troops in Iraq, I hope Bush has a plan to extract them with a minimum loss of both American Lives and our equipment. It should be clear to anyone that all the shouting about the three elections in Iraq was simply Hype. This country is not even close to being ready for a democratic government and shows the basic flaw with the Bush policy of spreading democracy as the way to make America safer from radical Moslem factions.

I pray that an all out civil war does not start at all.
