I only hope that if I were given the chance, I would opt for integrity, in spite of losing face.bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309024574089677684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-28739807896776448602007-05-01T22:15:00.000-05:002007-05-01T22:15:00.000-05:00Excellent post, precisely drawn.

Or the Reagan way -- withdraw from Beirut and invade Grenada. Or the Woody Wilson way -- withdraw from Mexico and go "over there" to Europe. Or the Polk way -- retreat from 54/40 and fight but invade Mexico. SO, withdraw from Iraq and invade Iran.

We do need a new way forward, think outside the box and attempt to squash the root of the conflict.<BR/>I too noticed that the surge and also the proposed troop withdrawal will be rather convenient for the next president.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you well.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836716475835685334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-2179476687430188472007-05-01T11:25:00.000-05:002007-05-01T11:25:00.000-05:00My favorite part of Iraq so far (this is bitter) h...My favorite part of Iraq so far (this is bitter) has been the argument that Iraq is not Vietnam, because in Vietnam there was a Domino Theory, and in Iraq there isn't. We just can't let Iraq fall because then other Middle Eastern natons will also become more friendly to terrorists and give the jihadists a base from which to launch attacks on the world.<BR/><BR/>But at least there's no Domino Theory.SamuraiFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313259493587442589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-29753595448524801162007-05-01T10:19:00.000-05:002007-05-01T10:19:00.000-05:00This is a wonderful, and compelling synopsis of th...This is a wonderful, and compelling synopsis of the tragic situation we find ourselves in.<BR/><BR/>When will people learn?SkylersDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264164502733912326noreply@blogger.com
