Re: "...still think everything is just peachy," Everything is most certainly NOT 'peachy'. In fact, current policy is ALL SCREWED UP, and the trend is BAD --- debts piling up upon debts, the problems getting worse, recruits flocking to the side of various enemies, major strategic threats like China and Russia gaining on us, etc. NOT 'peachy' any way you look at it.... Re: "... the iraqi's will just fight themselves," They certainly WILL fight among themselves (they ALREADY ARE for anyone to see who isn't deaf, dumb, or blind....) And, the conflict will almost certainly GROW among them --- when we leave --- as the Saudis and the Iranians have conflicting goals, and have already signaled that the conflict will grow as they contest with each other for power. Re: "... there is no one trying to hurt us," To quote a line from a Steely Dan song: Only a Fool would say that. (Certainly I don't make that claim, nor ever have!) Re: "... and if we only left that region there would be peace in the world." Again, never even heard of ANYONE making such a ridiculous stretch --- but I do believe that certain redeployments (AWAY from such ill-conceived and counter-productive gross interventions) would GREATLY BENEFIT the United States of America. And, in the long-term, after the Sunnis and the Shia have their greater war, and Kurdistan gets established as a new nation, and the neighbors give up their opposition to it, the area will become much more peaceful then it is now, and more then it has been for a very long time. So... just WHO is singing "Kumbaya"? The delusional, other-worldly believers in 'Stay the course, everything is working just fine', or people with REAL plans for change?
