All we can do is give them a start. You see where Russia is today after fifteen years of democracy. Democracy is not easy. Just ask the Palestinians.
They will suffer through it and succeed IMHO. However, if we leave prematurely, they are certainly doomed.
I don't expect our nation to tuck its tail and run because we are tired of IRaq.
We have given them a start. We have shed 3,000 lives to give them a start. It's now time for them to step up to the plate and do their part. They have not and I don't think they will. I, for one am not willing to send servicemen even if they are volunteering to Iraq to see them shot by Sunnis one day and Shiites the next.
