to PM and all those who advocate a continued presence in Iraq:
- to prevent a greater Middle East war
- to secure oil resources
- to allow peace and democracy to be instilled in Iraq
- to prevent Iran from taking over
- to help the Sunnis
- to help the Shiites
... how about giving us 1 measure of when we have won the war?
... how about giving us 3 conditions that must be obtained before the US can withdraw?
... how about naming 5 stages for in the establishment of stability?
and what time line must this be accomplished by?
if you can't do this with precise and verifiable answers, then how can you continue to put Iraqi and other lives under the presence of American troops and US control?
thankfully though patrick, it didn't work out as well as they said it would. if it did, we would be fighting an insurgency in tehran. i am conflicted; i want us to be successful, i think it could have gone more smoothly, but i don't want anyone getting any ideas to go through with this again.
of course not. How could the US be safer now that we are broke, resources and emotions drained, no confidence or faith in gov.'t decisions, and a terrorist breeding ground so fertile it'll be sprouting new terrorist camps the minute the US starts to withdraw.
Who's gonna stop them? Not us, we'll be too tired (I sure am - save the cash and sanity, please).
Five Years After the Invasion, Demonstrate for Troops Out! Saturday 15 March 2008
But not every American 'broke' it.
Do you believe that we should stay there, regardless of the cost of American lives and our countries economy?
I guess my question would be when is enough enough? What is the price that is acceptable?
Our country and economy are also broken.

Patrick - I admire your optimism, both in regards to Iraq and our political system. I just don't see much that is positive in either.
electorate and monetary reform are WAY overdue
Flowers, candy and soccer balls!
I find your photos soo fucking naive they border on insulting.
So, maybe it's too late to dwell on this (since we did invade and now we have to deal with it) but:
Is America safer because we invaded Iraq or not? I can think of a lot of arguments supporting both sides.
of course not. How could the US be safer now that we are broke, resources and emotions drained, no confidence or faith in gov.'t decisions, and a terrorist breeding ground so fertile it'll be sprouting new terrorist camps the minute the US starts to withdraw.
