Hi; Sarmad Y. Hermiz; Re: "So it takes a vicious thug to over-throw a vicious thug. And generally only a strongly motivated ideologue would undertake the sacrifice it entails. With the single-minded obsession required for success. I couldn't do it, and I think neither could you. Because we are not vicious thugs."

Here's Hawkmoon's reason for why we must be in Iraq:

Were we facing 30%+ unemployment, and crippling demographic baby booms with 70% of our population under the age of 25, I can pretty well predict that we'd see some Christian militants rising to the surface as well. THAT'S WHY WE MUST BE INVOLVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST!! We simply have no other choice except to quarantine the entire region and cut them off from interaction with the rest of the world until they die off to "manageable" population levels, of finally realize (as in Iran) that fundamentalists are just as corrupt and inept as their secular leaders. #reply-19231020

From Hawkmoon's perspective, our policy in Iraq is a kindness. If it doesn't work, then we have to get serious.
