I'm all for the Americans getting out. Right now.

Let the insurgents and terrorists have at it.

Americans who make these statements concern me. The reason for my concern is rooted in two major questions. I wonder if they have given the matter the critical thought it deserves before drawing conclusions. Have they considered these two questions?

What action will terrorist take after discovering that terrorist tactics successfully caused America to abandon its mission to help create a free Iraq?

And

What effect would another successful terrorist attack on America have on America’s economy?

A third question: What kind of confidence can any other American ally, anywhere in the world, have that the Americans will live up to their commitments?
