26. It's not an 'us' vs 'them' situation
It's more like an us vs them vs them vs them situation. Cutting the funding will just cut out our involvement, but the war will continue and until one of the factions in Iraq become victorious and takes the country for themselves.

The war is not going to end once we leave. That's why you need to establish a stable government before we can leave, or else there would be more bloodshed.

That's the harsh reality. It would be great if all this mess would end if we leave, but it won't.
