[Osborn F Enready]

WE should walk away. This situation, as before, can only be settled by THOSE that have the dispute.

If the people of Iraq wanted liberty to govern themselves, and their claim was that Saddam was the great oppressor, he is gone now. There was no WMD, we have already dumped billions of dollars on this mistake, and we should now leave as soon as possible.

Part of the problem in the U.S. is that our "all voluntary" force is stationed in over 135 countries, that aren't paying reasonable amounts for the protection they are getting. We do not give liberty, as it is not ours to give. We don't sell liberty, because it is something you can't "sell". We are not global policemen, nor should we assume the role of that seat. If people want liberty, they will take it, protect it, and enshroud it with a system that protects that liberty. If they prefer democracy, they will make it so, as they should. It is not our job, nor in our intrests to be the scape goat for starting them on the wrong path for their culture.
