BigBaldRon raised the key point, but I draw a diffent conclusion.
Would things turn to crap if the US were to pull out quickly? I'd have to agree that they would. But thats where I get off the neo-con bus. As bad as they would be, things will turn even crappier if we stay.
We just don't have a dog in that fight. The idea that we are fighting them there so that we don't have to fight them here is simply not true.
Who are "they" anyway? The war in Iraq is a civil war between the Shia and the Sunni for political power... THERE, not here. After the Shia slaughter the Sunni they are not going to come to the USA to get the Baptists.
And don't give me any BS about Al Qaeda in Iraq. They are a tiny little bit of the problem, didn't exist before we got there, and will be decimated by either the Sunni and/or the Shia after they stop fighting each other. More to the point, fighting them THERE has no bearing whatsoever on whether some cell launches a terrorist attack here. There. Is. Just. Simply. No. Connection.
