4. There is a difference
In "supporting the war" and not supporting early troop withdrawal.

I was 100% against the war and was further horrified by the shoddy planning.

But I am not sure what the next right step is either. We went in there and ravaged their country. What do we owe them? What is the best way to bring the most stability?

What we are doing isn't working, I don't support anything about what has been done there. I just don't know what would be best to do next.

It is distressing to here about what we haven't done right all along, including refusing offers to help train the Iraqi troops.

But if we are anti-war...how can we want to leave a country that was relatively stable when we got there in a state of chaos? What is right to do?
