And, the ONLY process that will EVER be respected in the region, is a decision that is made by the locals, and the locals ALONE. Respected in the region by whom? You think that Al Qaeda and the other terrorist groups, and the corrupt dictators of the Middle East will respect anything other than their own power and enrichment? A civil war would allow the local interest groups to reform the place along new lines of political power and ethnic realities on the ground --- You are in favor of pulling out of Iraq and allowing anarchy to rule, and allowing the most violent, depraved Islamists to destroy any semblance of civilization there? There wouldn't be a civil war, there would be a massacre, and the Islamic terrorist groups, backed by Iran and Syria would take over. Iraq's and Iran's oil resources would then be used as a weapon against the US and Europe, both via economic blackmail and for funding nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Your idea of cutting and running and hoping that all goes well, doesn't work! Our only hope is for our leaders and our brave men and women in uniform to stay the course, defeat the demented, violent Islamic terrorists NOW so that our children and our grandchildren don't have to face or suffer a much worse fate later. Not only would your idea allow Islamic terrorism to win, it would enrich and empower our enemies, and almost certainly result in the destruction of our country. |
