It all comes back to this - if the faltering Iraqi state is allowed to collapse, we will have another 9/11. To retreat to within our borders would make things more dangerous for us now.
The desperate straits in which we find ourselves in Iraq are the main reason why I am a Giuliani guy. Giuliani took a city that was about to collapse into bankruptcy and into criminal anarchy, and made NYC a pleasant place to be. That's the kind of leadership we need for Iraq.
Of course, you'll never agree with me on this, because you are a libertarian and I am a moderate. But that's okay... we're still friends....
The Wahhabist Sunnis of Al Queda HATE the Shi'ites and consider them to be "heretic polytheists" worthy of death. What makes you think that SCIRI and Al-Dawa will "allow al Queda to take up residence" in Iraq? Far more likely is that they will kill eachother with robust vigor.
And when I see Sunni Terrorists and Shi'ite Terrorists killing eachother, I don't see it as a cause for panic. More like a cause for beer and peanuts.

So send him to Iraq!
We certainly do NOT need more authoritarian Big Government here in the USA! Whatever may have worked in New York City, Giuliani's pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-gun policies are not welcome here in Oklahoma, nor most of the other States.

That we are.
