The answer to this question is that no. All troops should come home. There have been a number of losses between us and the country that were fighting in. Send everyone else home and let's go on about our business. There is way too many problems going on in the world that need to be taken care of that this situation doesn't seem to amount of what's really important out here. If anything the cause of this problem President Bush needs to be out of office and placed somewhere, where he losses all contact with all human reactions.
Heh. I agree with you. However, it wouldn't be that easy. World leaders absolutely despise losing face, and are usually too full of themselves to speak out and acknowledge that they were wrong. Hopefully the new president will have less pride and more reason wthin themselves. Though I think the whole Iraq war was a mistake, I will not bash anyone involved because I don't know them personally and I don't know what's going on inside their heads. Sometimes there is a method to the madness, sometimes not. At any rate, I think world leaders (esp. the president of a superpower), should have more responsibility than to clutch at their pride so firmly.
