I used to think we just need to pull out everybody, give the iraquis support for their reconstruction and call it a day.

However - i'm not sure that will work either. Primarily because Radical Islamists want nothing from us. Not out soldiers on their soil, not our money in their coffers, not our westernizing influence on their nation's leaders.

The Iraqis didn't want any of this from us in the first place.

I don't see how we can resolve this iraq issue without losing face, or losing lives.

We lost face the instant we illegally and immorally invaded and occupied another sovereign nation based on a pack of lies.

I don't believe we should continue "fighting the insurgency" - because that keeps adding fuel to the fire.

I also can't easily say we just pull out and forget about it, because it's not going to die down.

The Iraqis want us OUT of their country. The only ones that want us to stay are the ones that have basically sold out their own country to work for, and with, the U. S. occupiers. Whatever happens after we leave is going to be the business of the iraqis, not ours.

We wind up re-inforcing the bin Laden comments about being a Paper Tiger - we get punked essentially (and really if it weren't for the fact that i'm an American i would say that's jsut fine). However - getting punked means we're open to more terror attacks and increased oil prices.

I'm curious, but why haven't we been attacked since 911? And what did the Iraqis have to do with terrorism prior to 911?

it's become a total boondoggle, i hate Bush for putting us in such a precarious position, and i'm really losing hope right now. Does anyone have a light at the end of this tunnel? soemthing I haven't thought of? as it is right now - i jsut see things as lose/lose

"Losing hope" about what? For what were we supposed to hope after attacking, invading, and occupying another country based on a pack of lies?

we can't stay, because it leaves American citizens in danger and we can't leave - because it leaves American citizens in danger.

No, we can't stay because we shouldn't have been there in the first place. And just how is continuing to illegally occupy Iraq protecting any one in the U. S.?
