You know, I am not a proponent to just "go to war" despite my internet handle.

There were a lot of apparently valid reasons for going over there and maybe some of them don't seem as good now, but the voting the people standing up over there to be heard and elect a new government???? THAT is all the validation anyone needs to see that they are hungering for freedom.
No argument about that at all right?

Well the only thing left to decide is whether it should have been the US government with our Allies spearheading this government change. I don't know, but I don't see any other nation jumping up to do it.

In the end, we are left with the cards that history had now dealt us.. I mean ancient and Recent history. The Radical jihadists have spoken and the battle lines are drawn. As far as I'm concerned, the gloves are off now and this is war.

So in that context, we can't just pull out. We can't go back to yesterday!!! As a people we have to stop our division and our whining and just get doing what needs to be done. Pulling out immediately is supremely wrong. Pulling out at all is wrong. Pulling BACK to the borders and letting things start to settle down might be a better idea.

I tend to think if we moved our bases outside the cities and to the borders, then prevented any more terrorists or foreign fighters from entering the country might be the best way to get those people to take up their own torch for defending and taking care of themselves. Then as they solidify the governmental power, they come out to the borders and relieve us so we can come home.
