If they had said at some random point they were withdrawing their troops, I could have accepted that. The fact that they completely bent to the will of the terrorists and did exactly what they were aiming for was inexcusable.

The bombings happened 3 days before national elections and the incompetent way the ruling party handled the bombings turned the tide towards the party that had been opposed to having troops from the start. I remember seeing video after video of charred and disfigured bodies, videos that got leaked and infuriated the people who ended up punishing the ruling party. Once they were turned out of office the winners just did what they said they would do before any troops were sent in.

I know...for me, a difference without a distinction.
