That's the problem with limited choices in a poll... all you can do is guess which one is "close" to what you really think. I personally think a combination of things will happen.


There are a couple things we need to accept up front. When we leave some Iraqis will die... but that's the same if we stay. Iraqis are dieing now, the only real difference is our guys are sometimes dieing with them.


There is a certain amount of inevitability that some just refuse to see because they're all caught up with this "win" thing... whatever that means. Because it's never going to mean Iraq is a little America in the Middle east... ain't gonna ever happen!


We've been an occupying force in Iraq for too long now. Actually should have never went in...  


But what we should tell them now is this. We are starting an orderly redeployment over the next year or so and either the current government consolidates its authority or it doesn't. It's their country. If they want to kill each other or split it up rather than accept a centralized government they'll at some point have to learn by their own mistakes. The US enabling them is like a friend buying an alcoholic a drink... it only continues the real problem and puts off recovery.


What we're doing now would be like if France had came over to the United States during the lynching of blacks in our Civil Rights struggle and said... We're here to straighten you guys out and do things the civilized French way.:confused:
