And if the U.S. leaves, we presumably won't be participating in such things anymore.

You know, when Jesus said "Love your enemies," I think he probably meant don't kill them, Mr. Mahoney.

What is it anyway with these folks? There's just black and white. Either we're there with a full military presence blasting hell out of everything that moves and then blasting hell out of what's left to watch the rubble bounce, or we "abandon" the field. Has it occurred to anyone with the repressive right that this job has passed from the military and is now more properly in the hands of people who create rather than destroy?
