Hi michael97123; Re: "Mistake or no, we must all live with the consequences of our decision. One point we all seem to agree on is that America must stay and finish what it started. A functional, democratic state in Iraq that exerted a positive influence on the region would go a long way toward vindicating the liberal hawks. I'm less optimistic about this outcome than Tom Friedman. But if such a nation emerges, no one will be more pleased about it than I." The basic problem is that no one has a rational plan that would allow us to "stay and finish" in Iraq. Every plan that is out there begins with assumptions that do not take into account the very simple fact that the Iraqi resistance will keep shooting at us no matter what we do, short of simply leaving. What's worse, the Shiittes are starting to march in protest against us. -- Carl
