1. Guiliana's mafia theory: if you take out afganistan, and leave the rest standing (Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc) the other regimes just get stronger
2. the Arab street hates us, if we leave, they won't even FEAR us.
3. the 700 plus men and women who have already died in Iraq
4. the 3000 who died on September 11, 2001
5. if we leave Iraq, Iraq will probably turn into Iran or Saddam Part Deux
"if we leave Iraq, Iraq will probably turn into Iran or Saddam Part Deux"
Good point.
Plus, Iran is next on our list (maybe Syria). Iraq is the best place to be when we take out those terrorists in Iran and Syria.
#5 is the point that I usually hit them back with...
#2 is a great point too
