102. The goal is Iraq for the Iraqis
As much as we'd like to undo the invasion, we can't. It's done. We have to deal with reality as it is now.

Before the invasion my goal for Iraq would have been Iraq for the Iraqis. Just because the invasion happened, that goal has not changed. However, if this can be accomplished without a bloody and brutal civil war occuring, I think we owe it to the Iraqi people to exhaust every legitimate (meaning: not self-serving) option we can before abandoning them to a horrible fate.

Don't you think so? If you were in their shoes, would YOU want to be abandoned to a probable civil war?
