If the right path in the Iraq would take 50 years then I would supoort it wholep-heartedly. War sucks and costs lives but if it is the right thing to do then it should be done right. Saying it has been 5 1/2 years and not everyone there is sitting around a camp fire singing Kumbaya so it is time to give up and do something else is SOOOOO misguided. If you are against the war for other reasons I can understand but don't feed me a line that basically says "Hey, we're a bunch of big pussies who don't have the guts to hang in there when things get tough" That is exactly what I hear when someone says something about how long this war has taken so politics must be a better answer. And I'd bet that's what our enemy would hear too.

this is my point. these bunch of idiots we have running this country have no real vision, or plan, on how to succeed in this so called war. in reality, war is ugly. war costs thousands of people their lives. but war is also knowing who the enemy is, and what the objectives are. it would be different if the Iraqi people wanted this United States invasion. i really don't think they did. these people have been killing each other for thousands of years. what makes us think we can impose our will of democracy upon them? and if that would be the case, who is next? China, Iran, North Korea? the list goes on and on. i really do believe this administration had the United States best interests in heart when this started. but this has been so mismanaged, its turned into a disaster. im not willing to sacrifice any more American lives on the CHANCE that the Iraqi people MIGHT embrace their freedoms. are you?
