I've suggested for a long time now that 1/2 TRILLION DOLLARS should be our upper limit for Iraq spending. (Cost measured against potential gain, don't 'cha know.) And, we are rounding on that financial number this year, so I believe --- also since we have ACHIEVED all of our original objectives... Saddam is on trial for his like, Iraqis have an elected government, and there is no WMD threat toi the US from Iraq --- that it is much in America's interest to end the occupation now, and let the Iraqis settle their own internal political issues. (Also, since a war in the region between fundamentalist Sunnis and fundamentalist Shiites, even drawing from neighboring nations such as Saudi Arabia and Syria and Iran is likely historically inevitable, but even more importantly, necessary for the political evolution of the region... and is ALSO in the best long-term interests of the West and America... I see no reason to waste further American money or blood in futilely trying to stave-off what is actually in our OWN BEST INTERESTS.) It's just STUPID to shoot ourselves in the foot like that.
