Reply #3: Since we are there.... [View All]

We might as well leave Iraq better than we found it. If we continue the way we are going, the Iraqis will owe us a debt.....better than some of our less reliable middle eastern "allies". Turkey wants us to leave so they can carve up Kurdistan...Egypt wants a little peice too...There is no such thing as a good war. But since we are fighting this one, we might as well make things better for the Iraqi people.

A few facts.

Most insurgents are foriegn fighters brought in by outside agitators. Most are jordanian, yemeni,Saudi, and Egyptian.
They are being funded by wealthy middle easterners who are profitting from the murder of fellow muslims.

We are getting the water turned on, the lights turned on. We are training vast numbers of Iraqi men to defend their own country, be they soldiers or police, or paramedics.

Every bombing that kills civilian causes about 50 to join the insurgents, but 500 to join with coalition forces.

I do not agree with why we went. But we should leave it better than it was when we arrived. We are Americans, and still the good guys....!!
