So It IS like Vietnam, After All.

Or, to quote one of the board's favorite movies:

"Terrorists blew up a restaurant in Paris, killing five. None from New York."

 

And while billions are being spent in Iraq, people are living in the streets in the United States and New Oreleans is still a mess. Way to go Bush.

 

Yes, if we leave, many innocent Iraqis will die. Which changes the status quo how, exactly?

Meanwhile, we get back to what we do best: Propping up non-democratic governments.

Another thought...

Remember when Bush made the case for Iraq based on establishing a democracy that would then inspire other democracies in the Middle East, blah, blah, blah.

Now his rationale for the war is, "Just think how much worse things will be if we leave!" There's a bumper sticker.

 

You can take a good snapshot of how different the attitude is from the two recent mine collapses.
