| Sonart, if Iraq's security forces get stronger and help secure the area then we can surely have a better chance at reconstruction. You are right, pulling out is worse than trying to see if we can resolve this and complete the democratization. If we do then we will have a very powerful Arab-democratic ally who owes us.
Ibm, I am glad you are not in power. You say you see the consequences of pulling out as a cost that is worth while? Do you understand that terrorism at home for us would become far worse if we did so? It will cost more money and more lives to pull out now and let them re-group/use Iraq as a new terror state than will trying to stabilize it. We do need more allied help though. |
