I agree we (the west), should pull out of there. Things are only getting worse instead of better as we are not seen as "liberators" by anyone there.

The two are mutually exclusive. The US and all foreign troops should pack up and head out if Iraq as soon as possible. They've accomplished their stated goal of removing Saddam and bringing a semblance of democracy to that litter box of a nation so time to leave. Add to that its now turning in to a cival war so again, time to leave. Afganistan on the other hand they need to stay and insure that the taliban are reduced to nothing.Maury Beniowski said:
They should have never bothered with Iraq. They should have gone after Pakistan from DAY 1. You have to go for the head of the snake if you want to kill it.
I was aware of it, however I wanted to poll our members here, and add a face to the name. This fella will be extremely hard to ignore at home, and I highly doubt the government will make any attempt to silence or replace him. His timing is very astute with the Labour Party ruminating over Blair`s successor, and the upcoming elections in the US. In fact, his timing almost takes a page out of (dare-I-say) Islamic militants. So far the BBC`s blog only lists one dissention, an American.Randy Whorewald said:
removing Saddam?... that was one of the stated goals?... one of the initial stated goals?... are you sure it wasn't one of the, "oh shit, guess we better come up with some reason for being here, now that the presence of WMD, the 9/11 ties and the al-Qaeda link reasons have been shown to be bogus".Maury Beniowski said:
a semblance of democracy?... that's what the Americans have brought to Iraq? An American puppet government soon to be dispatched by the ever growing civil war... that's the semblance of democracy? Oh wait, you do recognize the civil war... and now you want to "cut and run"
... and now you don't want to "stay the course" ... why do you hate America?... why do you hate freedom?litter box of a nation?... is that your summary statement of Iraq, uhhhh, before or after the U.S. invasion?
