Ted, > What I am clear about is that no more American blood should be spilled over Iraqi issues and disputes. There are now two schools of thought. One says that we should just get out of there and let the warring factions have at it. It's American lives we need to put first, and as long as what happens in the Middle East stays in the Middle East, we'll be fine. The other says that the issues are not just Iraqi issues, but issues that we own now and are going to be blamed on us if things continue to spiral downward. After all, we went in there in the first place, didn't we? We now own this mess, and whatever happens as a result will reflect upon us for generations to come. That will motivate future jihadists to come attack the Western world all over again. Therefore, we have to fix things no matter what. I'm in the 2nd school of thought. But that doesn't mean I want our troops to stay there forever. I would, however, consider some more drastic action. Heck, if that means negotiating with Iran and Syria, fine by me. It's about time we apologized for the whole "Axis of Evil" thing and start working toward common goals. Tenchusatsu
