The war IS over

[mdmc]

this is the hard part - rebuilding Iraq.

Saddam Hussein was dictator for a reason, Iraq was in total shambles.
Once we overthrew the Bathe party, we became responsible for Iraq.
Bush and the Dems can cut and run at any time. Unless there is a stable pro west democracy in Iraq, our intervention will be a failure.

As someone who pretty much opposed this war from 9-11-2001 on (don't kid yourself, most anti-war protesters knew after 9-11 that w. would be going into Iraq. Worse, he was able to do it with almost everyone cheering him on :mad:), I fully understood that once we went in, we could never get out. GHWB knew it. So did Powell.

So pull the troops out tomorrow, or at the end of the year, or at the end of the decade, or at the end of the century. If there is not a stable, pro-west democracy in place in Iraq, we have lost.

Thank you to all those that opposed this needless military intervention.:patriot: Shame on all you enablers. I am a bit confused by all those that now claim that the war is a mistake; I appreciate their understanding, but feel that the damage has already been done.
