There are some people that are willing to go along with our brand of democracy, but there are too many terrorists, extremists, etc that will make it impossible for things to ever stabilize there.
It's time to cut our losses and leave. It sucks that it's gotta come to that. I was in support of "Dubya" at the beginning. But it's just not gonna work. Let them be a country in anarachy. Let them be another Afghanastan. Some Oil Warlord will come out of the woodwork eventually and then the U.S. can deal with whoever that will be.

OK, pjmyjr, I hear yah and I agree with you completely. The only question is: Is Hussein or anarchy better? Hussein was a tyrant, but that kind of dictator was the only thing that kept those people under control over there. I didn't like him and thought he was extremely cruel, but it worked. He kept the country together. Anarchy has torn that country apart. It can't and won't be stabilized again until another powerful dictator, who will have to be firm and cruel, like Hussein, takes over. Who knows? This new dictator might be worse than Hussein. Then what? Are we going to go to war all over again?
An important note is that their have been many mass murders and genocide attacks in other countries over the years. Why hasn't the U.S. tried to liberate those people?
