Our presence in Iraq galvanizes resistance to our military occupation. This will not end until our military occupation ends. Iraq is descending into the chaos that most thoughtful people anticipated -- there being few if any thoughtful people in the current Administration, this did not cause much concern, as evidenced by the astonishing lack of planning. A "strategic" retreat? Most will now say we have to stay -- you break it, you own it. But the fact of the matter is that our presence in Iraq is half the problem, the other half being the fact that the people who will likely end up running Iraq are not nice people and not our friends. Things that begin screwed up have a tendency to stay screwed up -- Iraq was screwed the moment we decided to invade under the American flag.
