i agree with most of what you say. but because George Bush rushed into Iraq without a clear plan, or vision, he took a bad situation and made it worse. there should be a non public time table for withdraw. this will make the Iraqi people understand that sometime in the near future, they will be governing their country. as long as the united states, and the other coalition members continue to stay, Iraq basically sits back and enjoys being baby sat. with the sad shape that our economy is in right now, im sure the money used to fund the war could easily be used elsewhere. i think where the republican machine miscalculated was they thought there could be stability in the middle east. not in our lifetime, maybe never
