Evacuate Iraq?
After the recent surge in attacks against US troops occupying Iraq, most of the world has begun to wonder whether we will pull out or not. Bush had made a big deal about us staying until the end, and on this occasion I most certainly hope he sticks to his word. We can't afford to have Iraq blow up into something even worse. If we were to leave, a civil war would be imminent, and it has the potential to drag the whole region into the fight.
Unfortunately, I'm not one to trust George W. Bush that much. He's a man who answers a straightforward question by remarking that it's a trick question. Lately, few politicians in Washington D.C. know anything about the war in Iraq and how to deal with it. Are they really that stumped? The Bush administration has done a poor job (at best) when it comes to war planning. There isn't even a sense of closure in Afghanistan, and that was two years ago!
We need to secure Iraq, and if need be, send more troops. It will only do more to stabilize the region and ensure that any other countries who might harbor terrorists give it a second thought. We have a right to defend ourselves, but when we do it, we need to do it well!! ¶ 5:37 PM
