Do you honestly think if we pull out of Iraq now, things are going to be wonderful there?
Hell no! It is, after all, Iraq.
Is that REALLY what you are trying to say?
No, what I'm trying to say is that rampant speculation on just what is going to happen after we leave through comparing Iraq to SE Asia is BS and fear mongering and/or emotion tugging to promote our continued presence.

Apparently, you haven't been paying attention to the news out of Iraq lately.
Bzzzzzt! Try again.
And "paying attention to the news out of Iraq" hardly allows you to KNOW what is going to happen in Iraq after we leave. All that does is tell you what is going on now, not what will happen in the future.

And in Breaking News...claims of Iowa straw poll fraud continue.

So are you saying we should just pull out and to heck with trying to determine what is likely to happen if we do?

And "paying attention to the news out of Iraq" hardly allows you to KNOW what is going to happen in Iraq after we leave.

So you think that what is going on there now provides no indication of what will occur if we pull out now?

Are you a supporter of Ron Paul? Do you believe your thinking is indicative of his reasoning?
