>If we turn tail and run, then we are announcing to all the terrorists in the world that we are not willing to fight for Democracy. So, what happens if we go ten more years, lose twenty thousand American lives, and still haven't produced a real democracy in Iraq? Do we just stay there then? If we pull out then, are we not committed to establishing democracies? When you're running a business, you don't keep throwing good money after bad -- why do the same in government? Sometimes you have to admit that you made a mistake and that you can't win. >Spain already said it loud and clear: "attack us and we'll vote for the candidate that is for appeasement". BS. Aznar lost in Spain not because his people wanted to "appease" Al-Qaida, but because he went to war against the wishes of his people and even moreso because he tried to use the attack to further his own agenda and said for a few days after the attack that the attack had been carried out by ETA, and not Al-Qaida, because he wanted an excuse to go after the Basques. He was lying to his people. The Spanish must be smarter than we are -- when a President uses a terrorist attack to further his own agenda, we re-elect him. -Z
