    Or keep our men and women in harm's way and WATCH (that seems to be the operative word with cheerleaders and the like) them continue to come home wounded, maimed, or dead.

    Let them kill each other. We are NOT going to stop them, only loose a bunch more of our young men trying to do the impossible.

    you both make good points. i just think its a little early to be pulling so many troops out. america has made grea progress in iraq and i dont want to see it all for naught.
    eventually though the iraqis have to stand up. i think they will fail though.
    i see things getting worse there.
    oh well, i live in america and its nice here :)

    They're pulling out of Iraq so they can send them to Afghanistan.

    Why should we insist on freeing a people who can not stand up for themselves.

    let them tear out each others throats,so what? who cares?
    instead of having troops there,just push buttons and take out targets with missiles!

    that country isn`t worth one "evil decadent westerner" getting killed for![:(!]

    they`ll get what they deserve...nothing more,nothing less![:(!]

    Who gives a flying F about Iraq? The ONLY thing that will keep that cespool in check is a regime like Sadam ran. They will fall into civil war within months.

    Funny...according to our president the citizens of Iraq should stand up and take care of themselves, but we need to be carried through every aspect of our lives by government.

    I ordered my very own government appointed sharp object specialist after nicking my face while shaving yesterday. I cannot wait until they get here and handle all the dangerous routines involving sharp objects in my home for me

    Not only do we need to get out of Iraq, but, somebody please tell me, what do we hope to accomplish in Afghanistan?

    In the 1880's, Britain was the mightiest empire the world had ever known.
    They invaded Afghanistan.
    England killed a lot of Afghanis. England lost a lot of troops.
    England withdrew from Afghanistan.
    Things went on in Afghanistan, pretty much as they had done before.

    In 1980, the USSR was the second mightiest empire the world had known.
    They invaded Afghanistan.
    Within ten years, Russia had withdrawn, and Afghanistan went on about their business, mostly, cutting each other's throats.

    I fully supported President Bush's invasion of Afghanistan.
    But now that we have the country, what do we do with it?

    Afghanistan, like Iraq, is not worth the life of one more American troop.
    Let us get out now, and let these rag-heads get back to what they do best, cutting each other's throats.

    If we remain in Afghanistan for 20 more years, what on earth do we hope to accomplish?

    Iraq going to hell over the next few years? When was it anything but a hell hole? Certainly not in recent memory.

    The English poet Rudyard Kipling, having witnessed his empire's misadventures in Afghanistan, had this to say about the Great Western powers intervening in these lands:

    And the end of the fight
    Is tombstone white
    With the name of the late deceased,
    And the epitaph drear,
    "A fool lies here
    Who tried to hustle the East."

    - Rudyard Kipling
