Reply #31: It really doesn't matter what Dean or Sheehan think... [View All]

What matters is that we've FUCKED Iraq up. His position means a hill of beans, when their infrastructure is in tatters and people are dying as a direct result of our actions. Go tell an Iraqi mother whose children are starving that Howard Dean has her back. Yippee.

Yes, it is an immoral war, and an immoral occupation. But to abandon the Iraqis lock stock and barrel after the fact is even more immoral. Downright evil, if you ask me. Where's the justice in that?

Yes, US troops are dying, and it's terrible. Obviously the position we're in is untenable, for both the Iraqis and the US. But we have to find another solution to do RIGHT by the Iraqis. It's our moral obligation.

I want to hear a plan that saves both US lives and rebuilds Iraq, not just knee-jerk "troops home now" or another masturbatory statement from Dem leadership. I don't pretend to have the answer, but we all know it ain't gonna be found with Bush at the helm and Halliburton at the trough.
