I've thought about us picking a date to withdraw, but that sends a horribly wrong message to the terrorists. It says, we're leaving. So bide your time and the country is yours. Not their's but all Iraqis. Its called tough love........if the Iraqis want democracy, they will have to fight for it. If not, they will fall back under the subjugation of the Sunnis once again. It is their choice to make.....not our's. The message we should be sending is that we are large and powerful and have more resources than you. We will stay here and outspend you and outfight you until the job is done. That is a nice message but it is not true........they know it, we know it, Bush knows it and you know it. We will never go away until Iraq is peacefully governed by a pluralistic, democratically elected body. If you want us to leave, then you will spend your energy by helping to rebuild. Otherwise, the U.S. will own Iraq for an eternity. Sorry, MM, but we can't afford it. Already, Americans tire of the Iraqi mess. It is not worth the price we will have to pay. ted
