You forgot new Jersey. Be serious. Don't you think we have other interests in those places thanbeing unable to leave?

I never said we were "unable" to leave.

We're able to leave every country our military is in. We're also able to dissolve the whole apparatus, if we so desire.

My point is that to demand an exit strategy before we've even gone in is pretty unreasonable, as we've yet to develop one for the aforementioned countries 50+ years after we entered.
