[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Ride untill we find them: Kill them all. <small> shiney penny for whoever gets that ,movie quote)</small> I think the option would be to do everythig possible to get Iraq's new government up and with something like a stable meeting schedule- passing their own laws, voted on by their own citizens without US interference or any US agenda for "country-building" being evident. Then, set attainable goals to get the vast majority of US troops [i]out[/i] of Iraq (there is going to be at least [i]some[/i] US military presence there for a looong time). While it's a fantasy, it would be nice to have the Iraqi people [i]vote[/i] to have the US forces leave, then have their elected officials make the call fot US military presence scaled back to a bare minimum. That would give the adverage Iraqi citizen a much needed say in his own future (along with some re-establishment of national pride at "kicking us out") and would both encourage Iraq to stand on it's own while letting the US out of any potential "they abandoned us" blame game of future generations if things go back to dictatorship and religous oppression. But I dream: private intrests wanting the US to stay have far more say than the majority of people wanting us out. Besides, how can we possibly tell Iraq how to govern when so many in our government are [URL=http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5517809]obviously [/URL] [URL=http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5517809]retarded[/URL] . Elsewhere, Israel is tired of playing nice- and after I was [i]certain[/i] that peace was just around the corner, too. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
