The fact that we are finally leaving a place where we should not have been in the first place? Good.

What are the odds we have to go back in once the fundamentalists are entrenched and the people have decided they were better off with our forces patrolling their streets?

I believe Iraq must take control of their country at some point, perhaps it is still to early.

Tough one, rejoicing soldiers heading out of combat and on the other hand are we leaving to early so that the soldiers who died and are scared for life did it in vain if the country gravitates back toward a dictatorship.

I dunno...

i agree, we should have never caught hussein and his sons. we should have allowed the torture rooms to continue. we should have allowed hussein to continue breaking those important UN treaties.

This is the issue I have a problem with. What about the other 1,000 countries we could same the same?

We cannot be the world police.

That was none of our damn business. If somebody's breaking UN treaties, it's the UN's job to handle it properly.

I'm glad we are winding things down - I hope we did enough to foster improvement in Iraq.

Agreed. The general feeling is that Iraq feels like they're at the age where they need to move along on their own.

Also, we're only pulling out of Baghdad at this point. We still have 130k personnel in Iraq.

Have you been watching the news? They've been going off increasingly over the last week or so. Last week was particularly bad.

So, what say you Joey? When should we invade North Korea? They don't have the oil, but they are guilty of everything you cited above.

oh yeah, we really made out with all that oil. we have iraqi oil everywhere. it's 2cents a gallon. yep and iraq paid us back for going in there.

ask your boy hussein when we'll attack NK. i'd say we'll attack israel for building houses on their land before we attack NK.

Hang on, that has nothing to do with what he asked.

The same conditions you apply to Saddam applies to North Korea.

Would you have the United States become the world police?
