But a withdrawl seems in order.... kinda like "Sorry, our bad.... we screwed up.... see ya." .... yeah... that sounds about right..... but gee.... that's just too simple. |
This is kind of an emblamatic reponse to my questions.
Yeah, we screwed up. Anyone with a brain can see that.
But now what?
That is the difficult question to answer, and perhaps an impossible one to answer with confidence. It not a question that you or I, am even willing to answer strongly, for fear of being wrong-as there is of course so much on the line here.
My point more or less is, yeah you can point out the obvious fact that the war was bad idea, has been mismanaged, and is screwed up, but to do so is, is well to state the obvious. Whom is there left to convince of that other than Mr. Vichio?

Quote by: Praxius Perhaps instead of everybody trying to guess what the US will do in Iraq, perhaps we should be concentrating on Iraq themselves, see what they require to stop this bloodshed and help make it happen, rather then by-passing all that and listening and doing what Bush wants...... It's not his country, it's the Iraqi's and if they seem to know what is needed to stop all this BS, then perhaps we should start to listen to them.
The Current president is a friggin stooge, he hasn't done anything worthwhile to remember except nothing... he's been suck holing Bush almost from day one, He doesn't have a pair to take action for what his country wants and needs..... he's useless....he's clueless.... frig just look at him.... he's got that blank "I don't know what I'm really doing" face.
All the demands I seen explained seem pretty reasonable and appear as though it "Could" have a chance at improving things.... but this twirp in power dilly dallys, he ignores reqests and demands by those who have been so-called elected, and he just sits back and let's the destruction of his country continue, like some goon who doesn't have a clue as to what the country needs. |
Maliki isn't dictator, he didn't have the power to meet some of those demands period, and he didn't have the power to meet some of them without losing his office. Democracy has its strengths and weaknesses, but frankly, I don't think Iraq's people are ready to elect a government which will pursue the national interest, instead of various sectional interests. Nevermind the single man Maliki, it is the aggregate form of the government itself.
That requested by those Sunnis, did not have popular support in the parliament, and so could not come to be.
