re: Last time I checked, that's precisely what we're doing.

We are withdrawing our troops!?! GREAT, I must have missed that news!

re: As almost everyone recognizes, it would be utterly stupid for us to leave without providing security until they can provide their own security.

Security from themselves? Hell, we are the ones that need the security, and those Iraqi's that support us. Without us there, they can begin the process of self-determination, you remember, one of those conservative values, as opposed to the liberals that believe in nation building.

re: It is amazing to me that so many people don't recognize the value in what will have been accomplished in Iraq.

It's amazing that you or anyone can't see the damage. The dead and injured, the deficit, the reputation of the US as a benevolent super power, giving strength to the fundamentalist and to the terrorists and the marginalizion of international institutions that have helped bring relative peace to a generation. This was a mistake of epic proportions.
