We just cannot seem to quit trying to run the world, all at taxpayer expense. But that is all our government seems to be concerned about — every other country but America and its REAL citizens...the very people they are supposed to be working for.
I figure we should pull out of Cuba first (been there since 1898) Germany (there since 1944), Japan (there since 1945) and Korea (been there since 1948).
After that, we can talk about getting out of Iraq.
It's so easy to forget 9/11/01. The US didn't go after Iraq for oil, Bush Sr. or WMD. Iraq is smack in the middle of where the enemy is. Think of Fort Apache. We've decided to fight them there and not here.
