Thank you -- very insightful: <If you believe it was wrong to enter Iraq then you must see that it would be even more wrong to walk away at this point. There is no 'we the people' in Iraq. There is only this volitile and fierce conglomeration of sub-groups. There was not a constitution or nation of people prior to the invasion. If we left the powers that would rise to rule would be the same kind of entities that attacked us on 9/11, only much more organized and with superpower resources at there beck and call.> My concern is that we will not stop any of this from happening by staying in Iraq, and I expect to see this spread to other countries. The question is are we harming our own interests by our visible and active presence? We have a mess -- discussions about how to clean it up, to the extent that you can clean up a mess like this, are welcome.

"The goals of the conquering insurgents who will rule in the south are identical to the conquering insurgents who will rule in the north. That is to establish a world wide Caliphate that will rule the Earth according to God's commandments. To do this these new, soon to become superpowers, will need to annihilate Western institutions, organizations, and powers. Starting with the USA as a primary target." soon to become superpowers?? Please explain what you mean by that further.
