Article about why the current war in Iraq is incredibly important.

*Bump*

This is one of those letters that was obviously NOT written to some guy's sons, but was always intended to be a chain letter.

I think it makes some really good points if you believe America has the benefit of the common man in mind.

Of course I'm a superstitious bastard and believe we have no control over anything and therefore shouldn't be bothered by the lies that are being force-fed to us.

Damn I wish Kennedy hadn't been assassinated, though. (That's a whole other matter, but I doubt we'd be in this mess if he hadn't been killed and had shaped the country differently. Namely bringing back the specie.)

I'm against the original invasion of Iraq, but also against immediat withdrawel, we can't leave that country until it's stable enough to protect itself from terrorist groups and whatnot

Pretty much. Bush really put us into a quagmire. We should have never gone into Iraq, but now that we are there, we can not pull out. I can't see them being stable enough for another 5-10 years. There will be a large conflict when we finally do leave, as Iran would love nothing more than to clusterfuck Iraq with the other countries.

Clusterfuck. Giggity giggity.

Obama is the ONLY candidate that has proposed his phased withdrawl, from the advice of ex-military generals, the plan would take roughly a year, but does not name a specific date of when we will be completely downsized.

I don't think progress will ever be made in Iraq, even if we do stay there, which we shouldn't be at all, it's now even so bad that they rate the success on LESS violence...

Well, we have to keep in mind that we only know what they let us know, we do not know what the hell is really going on over there, but Ron Paul is right they attack us partly because of our meddling in their countries internal affairs, which we need to phase out, we do not need to downsize the military, I'm all for the largest military possible, just we do not need to be trying to controll every country out there, our founding fathers did not want us to be a part of trade agreements or nation building, they believed in free and open trade with all foreign nations allied with none

That's the only flaw with conservatism is that times really are changing, and you have to go with the flow of things.
