DR, re: Pulling out of Iraq now would be a travesty Nation building, eh? A bit of a flip/flop on Bush's part; he campaigned against nation build in 2K. I thought we were trying to protect ourselves. Or is Iraq still a threat w/o SH? John

Pulling out of Iraq now would be a travesty; the families of American kids who have given their lives in this effort would have every right to react violently: "We gave our kids' lives, and for what?" That question already is being asked in numerous homes throughout America as I make this post. Unlike the members of the GOP, liberals are strong and can admit when they are wrong. Members of the GOP have such fragile egos, they have no choice but to continue down the wrong path. That would be fine......that's how people learn but there is a country at stake her...........this country. GOP policies are hurting it badly and they must be stopped. Some day you will understand.......hopefully.

Thousands Worldwide Demand Troops Pull Out of Iraq Sat Mar 20, 2004 02:55 PM ET (Page 1 of 3) By Grant McCool NEW YORK (Reuters) - Thousands of antiwar protesters poured into streets around the globe on Saturday's anniversary of the Iraq war to demand the withdrawal of U.S.-led troops. From Sydney to Tokyo, Madrid, London, New York and San Francisco, protesters condemned U.S. policy in Iraq and said they did not believe Iraqis are better off or the world safer because of the war. Journalists estimated that at least a million people streamed through Rome, in probably the biggest single protest. In London, two anti-war protesters evaded security to climb the landmark Big Ben clock tower at the Houses of Parliament, unfurling a banner reading "Time for Truth." About 25,000 demonstrators streamed through central London, many carrying "Wanted" posters bearing the faces of Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, his main war ally. In most places, the demonstrators numbered tens of thousands, compared with hundreds of thousands who marched in big cities in Feb. 15, 2003, to try and prevent the conflict. In New York, scene of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijacked plane strikes by Islamic militants, tens of thousands voiced opposition to President Bush, who is running for reelection in November. "Hey Hey, Ho Ho, George Bush has got to go," marchers chanted at a Manhattan rally organized by the United For Peace and Justice coalition of left-leaning groups. SEPTEMBER 11 "The thing they all object to is Bush," said demonstrator, Reeves Hamilton, 30. "It doesn't make sense to bomb countries that have nothing to do with Sept. 11." He said he supported troops going into Afghanistan to fight al Qaeda militants responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks, but not the invasion of Iraq, which Bush ordered to rid the country of its purported weapons of mass destruction.
