Do you understand that Iraqis are so segmented and have such a tribal mentality that it will be practically impossible to satisfy everyone?
The problem is, when they (Iraqis) are not satisfied, they elect to blow things up and kill people. I'm not saying it to bash the president by any means. I supported the war, but now, I think we need to get out. Leave them to their own devices. If they hoist up another Saddam, then we can do the same thing. The idea that "we break it we buy it" is only a rule because we choose to follow it. Only recently have states gone to war, defeated their enemy and then rebuilt their country. Maybe the name you can't seem to come up with should be.... Post war isolationism... or something...

When and where in human history has there been an instance of "everyone" being "satisifed"? That is not the case in the United States and you're right, it will not be the case in Iraq. Do you think you've made an interesting point?

The problem is, when they (Iraqis) are not satisfied, they elect to blow things up and kill people.

Who's "they"? All of them?

Again, this odd affliction surfacing - you can't see the nonviolent ones, you can only see the violent ones. And you assume that whoever's the most violent speaks for the rest of them.

Sad.

I supported the war, but now, I think we need to get out.

For what reason?

You seem to be concerned that there is violence in Iraq. Yet if we "get out" then I think you'd agree the violence would only intensity. So "getting out" as a solution to violence is like "gasoline" as a solution to fire. It literally makes no sense.

So, for what reason do you think we "need" to get out?

Is it perhaps just that you're weary of seeing Unpleasant TV News Stories?

Maybe the name you can't seem to come up with should be.... Post war isolationism... or something...

Yeah maybe, but that doesn't really quite capture the moral depravity, laziness, impatience, or selfishness of the position adequately, in my book....
