I would have to say I more so agree with "anonymous" on the whole Saddam issue you pointed out- is there such a brave person to take on the role? I mean literally. Then again though I can agree also with you on withdrawl from Iraq to quickly being a huge mistake at Americas fault. No explanation needed from my part you took most of the words out of my mouth- granted I said most, not all.
EXCUSE ME BUT..... I believe this is a political blog not a personal one-old rivals should maybe stay on xangas if there that important
 

Ok, I do believe that the U.S. should stay in at least until the reconstruction process is eiter well on its way to sucess or almost finished. I do agree with the previous comment in the fact that just our presence in Iraq is fostering more anger and terrorists than it would be if we withdrew. It would be a good idea to stay in Iraq but a withdraw would not be as big of a deal as you state. Most of the people are against Saddam so I dont think theres much to worry about.
 

The fact that you stated "if we leave now another Saddam Hussein would take power" baffles me. After watching months of reports, I have seen that everyday citizens of Iraq have expressed their distrust and hatred towards Saddam. So, if they really had such sentiment, why would they allow such a character to rise to power once again? You also say that "we would breed many new terrorists". Aren't we already doing that by being over there? Not only in Iraq, but in surrounding Islamic states? I saw the need to take Saddam out of power, but the way the government presented their case for entrance into Iraq was just down right ridiculous- the way the American people were misled was shameful. Finally, you say that "if we pull out of Iraq it will be our very lives at stake". Now, when you say "our", I am assuming that you mean the lives of the men and women sent across the world to fight. All I have say is that "our" lives are more at stake by being there, than pulling out. "Our" lives are being lost everyday from insurgents setting off roadside bombs- the insurgents, who are the minority in a country where the acceptance of the United States abounds. The focus in Washington seems to change daily, in avoidance of the war. If it were so right, why would our government avoid it? If it were so right, wouldn't people praise the government? When you're wrong or you make a mistake, don't you try to avoid being the focus or center of attention? - THAT is what the people in Washington are doing.So, I guess you really wouldn't have any idea what I'm speaking of when people try to avoid their mistakes.
