I supported going in a doing something with Hussein as he was totally disregarding the UN up until the very end. By that time, too much equipment had moved too close for Bush to say okay, let's back down, so we went in. I cautiously supported this action hoping that my government had some sort of out strategy to turn power over quickly to some provisional government. Gawd was I suckered just as Kerry was. But anyhow, to pull out now would leave a power vaccuum that would lead to even more disgusting blood-shed than is now going on presently. The Shiite majority would attack the Sunnis, the Sunnis and the Shiites would attack the Kurds. There would be civil war everywhere.

I can not in my wildest dreams see how the Bushies could not have envisioned this, but alas I will never, never, ever make that mistake again. They thought this would be another Afghanistan. Afghanistan's government is not stable but at least there, there was someone to whom to give the keys. Who is that in Iraq? The governing council? Yeah right, we leave and the governing council will start fighting and the first to be booted, killed, assasinated or whatever will be the puppet Chalabi.

Anyhow, those booing Kerry because he doesn't support an immediate withdrawal, are missing the bigger point here. We are there and need to fix it. Unfortunately, Bushie's problem of Iraq is also Kerry's.
