2. Set a target date, as Feingold suggested, and do the hard work that must

be done to meet it. The Occupation of Iraq must end--no permanent US bases in Iraq.

I hope this pullout can be well before the end of 2006.

We must do everything we can to help finance the reconstruction of Iraq when we leave. We owe the Iraqi people this effort.

...War and corporate greed as well as kill more Iraqi innocents.

6. That's precisely why we should pull out now
not because of any of his threats, but because we could then concentrate on going after him, which we should have been doing in the first place.

7. You missed one - -
Put this administration in prison for war crimes and ask the rest of the world to take over while we hold hearing, investigations and trials and clear space in our federal prison system for several thousand more hard core criminals from Asscroff to Rove & Rush and others behind the scenes.

9. Turn Iraq over to UN now. Let them set timetable for Iraq independence.
This is what African countries like Namibia wanted in the '60s. The ones that didn't get it engaged in guerrilla wars until they got independence.

10. I forgot the other choice that a lot of politicians are arguing lately,
Send more troops and get the job done more quickly. This of course would mean a draft.

Not my choice, but some argue that a draft would really bring on the protests as it did during Viet Nam and help to end the war sooner.

11. How can you ask another person to die for a LIE?
Pull out now.

If we pull our slowly or later, we only get more deaths - on BOTH sides!

"Delaying" will only prolong the enevitable - whether it is civil war or an Isalmic dictatorship.
