res- It's NEVER been the deciding issue. It's obvious to me you've spent very little time outside the United States. Your trips to foreign countries are probably limited to walking on the other side of Niagra Falls. LOL Conducting foreign policy based on the latest polls is one of the silliest anti-intellectual notions I've seen leftists put forward. Let's forget elections, let's forget the fact that every candidate in the last Presidential elections that supported our withdrawal from Iraq lost in the first few rounds of the primaries. Especially, the screaming doctor who now leads the Demolib party.

It's NEVER been the deciding issue. Polls have show the people in those countries want us gone yesterday. You just don't want to believe it. Have the polls asked whether the population would like to have their taxes raised by 10% per year in order to pay for a local replacement of US military that will soon be evicted, and received a resounding "yes"? I doubt it. If you really believe this, why haven't the "get rid of the US military" politicians won elections in those countries?
