May I remind everyone the reason we are still in Iraq and one of the reasons we can not leave yet.
We (the USA) promised not to crumble the country and leave it in pieces. We went to war and destroyed many many things. We are now helping to rebuild the country to be a better place than it was before we got there. We are still building schools, hospitals, police forces, educational centers, homes, jobs and so much more. We are not there now in order to crush insurgents or kill any remaining bad guys!! It just so happens that they continue to attack us while we rebuild their country and try and build a better place and a better government for them!!
If they would stop shooting tomorrow, so would we! As soon as the war was declared over, we would have been happy to not have fired any more rounds of ammo at all. We just wanted to rebuild what we could, get them a better government that was ruled "by the people" "for the people", teach them how to build better water plants and more effecient power plants and move on.
The worst thing we could have done is to destroy the armies, capture Saddam and then just leave them in turmoil!!
You must think of the whole picture and stop giving in to the liberal press who wants you to think we have and are doing terrible things and making terrible mistakes. We have, and we are, doing the right thing. And we can leave, as soon as we have succeeded. FBRaptor
