However, this situation is such a mess that unless we totally abandon the country–close the billion dollar US embassy and suspend all diplomatic relations with Iraq–then we will have to leave a small presence of U.S. troops behind in the region if only to protect and/or rescue Americans if the situation gets worse when we leave. I believe that it will take years for that country to stabilize, and that probably won’t happen until all sides get tired of fighting and come to the negotiating table or one side becomes victorious and peace prevails. Until then, the civil war will continue and U.S. presence is only delaying the inevitable.Beyond the Clintonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15518587533623329258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12708098.post-70653258510521794122007-08-29T03:46:00.000-04:002007-08-29T03:46:00.000-04:00It's a sad, albeit typical, state of affairs that ...It's a sad, albeit typical, state of affairs that such a large number of Americans want an end to this horrible war yet there isn't a mainstream peace candidate in the election. Only Kucinich (and his views ARE mainstream in many respects, he just doesn't get the media attention precisely because of this reason) will honestly get us out of this war. The other Democrats want us to get out as soon as possible (where it being 'possible' is whether or not we've completely taken over the Iraqi economy and set up a obedient puppet government to help secure our new client state). It's 'impossible' to leave until that day comes. Until then Iraq is a 'mess' that we must 'clean up'.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592956219662158910noreply@blogger.com
