Well, we clearly have a different reading of matters. I'm not convinced about your argument regarding the dire consequences of loss of the present levels of Iraqi. I would need a great deal more information to see that. As for who is to blame, good try but it won't work. Nor will trying to shift it to anyone else. It's the Bush folk who are clearly responsible. And history will certainly judge them so. The Dems don't have enough power to do anything serious in terms of changing Iraq policy in the next two years unless Bush is willing to do so. That continues to be his prerogative as the president. It was his war, a war of choice. And we are now paying the price. After that, we will see. Who knows where it goes then. You are simply far too willing to jump years down the road, look backward and then blame the Dems. As for the bulk of your post, you are conflating a great many issues: global oil supplies, responsibility for Iraq, the possibility of future me regional conflict, etc. If you wish to persuade others rather than just shout blame, you will need to offer up some serious arguments.
