America has reached its boiling point. The escalation of chaos and terror in the Middle East as well as across the globe acting in concert with the inability to strategically undermine the “will” of the insurgency has resulted in Americans to lose their “will” to continue the fight. The idea of troop withdraw has gained more popularity with each new report of American loss of life. As an American as well as a practicing Muslim, I fully understand the significance that troop withdraw from Iraq promises…
So you're advocating staying in Iraq until we achieve "victory"? Has "victory" been defined yet? Will that be when we have an Iraqi government that can stand on it's own, or when we have an Iraqi government that the U.S. approves of that can stand on it's own?

Why do you assume that it's an American loss of "will" that is fueling the drive to bring our troops home? Perhaps it's merely the becoming-more-clear-everyday perception that we can't win instead. Accepting reality and knowing when to quit is NOT the same as a loss of will.
