Over 600: When will America pull out of Iraq?
Over 600 American casualties have been reached this week after conflict between rebels and Coalition forces which raises the obvious question: When is America going to pull out of Iraq? Seriously, this has to be one of the most ill-conceived wars ever waged by the U.S. First we needed to go in their to get WMDS. Oops, no WMDS. Then we went into cause a "regime change," presumably to punsih Saddam for crimes like the ever-present "He gassed his own people charge." Please. First of all, they were Kurds, in a different section of Iraq, and with different political beliefs, religions, and cultures. Second of all, American ordinances were used to committ this offense and it was with the U.S.'s approval. So, now we went into Iraq to affect a regime change, which is patently illegal under international law. That's right, Dubya is a war criminal. Now, the focus is on "stabilizing the region" and on destroying terrorists. COME ON, PEOPLE! WAKE UP! AMERICA'S PRESENCE IN IRAQ IS CAUSING CIVIL WAR! This war also has led to the spreading of diseases because nearly half the country doesn't have access to clean water and a nation in which over 80 percent of the power grid is destroyed. Not to mention the more than 4 million refugees and over 10,000 civilians killed in this misguided attempt to wag the dog.
But we can't back out, that would make it worse, or so I've been told. How? We've already turned the political landscape into a bloody, strife-filled cluster****. I wouldn't be surprised if some Shiite Islamofascist twice as bad as Hussein was elected. We've already sustained casualties in this "war" that dwarf those of Vietnam's in a comparison of the beginnings,we've killed thousands of civilians and made many millions more homeless, diseased, and starving in the name of peace. Support our troops. Bring them back.
