Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "If we run from our obligations in Iraq now, it will be seen as a complete and utter defeat for any of the democratic and modernist goals we hope to instill in the people of that region."

Then let them live in squalor.

Re: "The militants will tout that it was their superior tactics and strategies (suicide bombings) which has cause the US to retreat."

So? After we left Vietnam the commies said the same thing but it didn't do us no harm. Fact is that our military ain't no good at repressive occupations. How many boys are you willing to have die to prove that? Every new body bag or busted body just proves a fact that you're not willing to acknowledge.

Re: "Thus, if they can make us retreat from there, they can use the same tactics to make us retreat elsewhere."

So they can make us leave Saudi Arabia? I thought we did that on purpose, LOL. Come on, seriously. The Arabs can't make us leave any place that doesn't have an Arab majority population.
