A democratic Iraq in the middle of non democratic countries will not hold or spread. Those surrounding countries have dictatorships, kings or a theocratic societies.Bush did not have a dream, he had a nightmare that became a reality.
Iraq will only survive under another dictator, king or theocracy. The only country, in the Middle East that is relatively a democracy is Turkey.
We cannot fight a civil war. We cannot fight suicide bombers that are ready to come into Iraq. 10,000 are ready and more being trained. IEDs, our troops cannot fight and they were not trained to fight a civil war. More troops will only more U.S. casualties. Terrorist, Sunni, Shiites, gangs and thugs, and God only know who else is killing our troops. We need to withdraw our troops yesterday and Iraq will resolve it’s problem. It always have. We cannot force upon them what they don’t want by killing them.We will not win the war on terrorism unless we fight from within our country, we are creating more terrorist by invading and occupying Muslim land, where they have the God given right to protect from aggressors. The war against terrorist was not Iraq, but we have made it Iraq.
Many supporter of this war say there is progress because Iraq is being rebuilt. Progress like that means nothing if the country is in the middle of a civil war with no stable government or military.We train our troops in 6 week and send them to Iraq, but we cannot train Iraqis in 4 years. The Iraqi government is corrupt and so is its military.
We cannot fight terrorist by occupying their land or with guns and bombs, money and more of the same that have not worked and will not work.This is not a John Wayne movie we are fighting in. We have not won the war here against racism, drugs, poverty, illegal immigration or even terrorism that is alive and well here. How can we expect to win anything any where else?
We are no longer a all knowing and all powerful nation.
We all support our troops, but we are asking the impossible from them and their families and the price they have to pay is too high. When we lose one of our own, we all lose. We lose our future.Terrorist have been here longer than we have and they will still be here when we are all gone.
We opened this Pandoras’s Box and we do not know how to close it. We lost this war a long time ago when it began.
