Given recent events in Iraq... how do you feel about DKs solution?

I heard a lot of criticism regarding Kucinich's plan to pull out and send the UN in. A lot of people felt we should stay years as Kerry et al suggested, and that DK was nuts.

I thought it may be a better idea to stay in to stabilize, but it is clear to me now that the situation will likely get worse the longer we stay in. I am thinking early Vietnam here.

The situation is this - Bush fu**ed us, the Iraqis, and any other partys involved the moment the first US soldier stepped foot on Iraqi soil.

If we stay in a hell of a lot of Iraqis are going to die. If we leave a hell of a lot of Iraqis are going to die.

I think there is no way around it. This will go down as one of the worst military blunders of history.

It seems to me DK was right. We should pull out. All hell will break loose, but you know if we stay in the same thing is going to happen. At least if we pull out the Iraqis will form some kind of government.

Will it be worse than Saddams? Quite possibly. But there is not a damn thing we can do about it. Bush assured this from day one.

Only a delusional die hard republican is naive enough to believe that an American created government will last after US forces leave and everything will be roses afterwards. I give it 5 minutes from the time US soldiers leave to full scale civil war. Why delay the inevitable and cost MORE Iraqi and allied lives?

I'm not even sure it would be a good idea to bring in the UN. You don't bring democracy at the point of a gun. Sorry, it just doesn't work. History has shown us what happens in these types of situations, and Iraq will be no different.

I know it sounds cold, but we all knew from the moment this damn thing was proposed what would happen if we went in. It's time to face the facts. No one can make this idiot endeavor work. I don't care who you have in the white house. It's just not going to happen.

There's only one way to fix this - and that's never to have let Bush go in to begin with. Unfortunately we can't change the past.
