I'm still not saying we should get out of Iraq right now. The problems is, we got so fucked over going in, that there is no good answer now.
If we stay - the war drags on, Al Quiada continues to recruit to fight the American menace, we continue to have political division in this country over the war.
If we leave - civil war is likely in Iraq, the region continues to be de-stabilized, and we have political unrest over the "abondonment", as we did in Vietnam.
Unfortuantely, we failed to learn the lessons of Vietnam and are now force to repeat them.
The Republicans have paid a price for supporting the war...soon the Democrats will pay a price for quitting it. And we'll have 20 years of Veterans blaming the government for failing them.
As far as lots of people being for the war in Iraq...politicians are siding up to count this election as a referendum on Iraq. Unfortunate for them - because whoever wins that argument will lose when the pendulum swings again.
