Quote by: underbear1 The simple answer for Democrats in 2008, is Iraq War is a disgrace, and we are not able to just withdraw the troops immediately, much as we'd like to. The previous administration (Bush) left us NO GOOD OPTIONS, but we will stabalize Iraq's new democracy before withdrawl. | So you are suggesting that a brutal occupation by a foreign infidel army is a stabilizing force? The occupation is the enemy of stability. |
I am not suggesting our occupation is stabalizing, I was against the Iraq War from the beginning.
What I am facing is
this is the situation Bush/ Cheney/ Rumsfeld/ Wolfowitz/ Pearl have brought us to. There aren't any good choices left, so I am trying to figure out the LEAST bad choice and dealing with what we have been given by the Neo-Cons.
I think Iran beating it's shields and waving the flag of nuclear war is possibly a warning European, Russian, and Chinese, and Arab leaders will take seriously, and help now in Iraq when in 2003 they said NO THANKS. Those other possible allies against Iran, know that Iraq could easily become a sattilite country of Iran, and make reining in their power hungry leading Iranian mullahs that much harder.
