I am a dedicated American. I gave twenty years of my life to the Air Force in a law enforcement/combat role.
I feel strongly for every troop that is in harm's way there in Iraq.
But after reading this blog and some others, I decided that yes, it is time to pull out now. What good are we doing there? I know we are rebuilding and helping set up an infrastructure but, can't the Iraqis do that?
Our presence there seems to be more of an irritant than an asset. We are accidently killing civilians, as show in this blog. We also seem to just be targets for the insurgents (terrorists) that come in from other countries. We are just an opportunity for these organizations to perfect their craft. At our expense.
Will Iraq fall into civil war? Will Iran or Syria move in and take it over?
The most important thing to me is that we do not let the Iraqis down. We cannot allow the terrorists that are just waiting in the wings to swoop in and take over. Those that were our friends might become victims (just look into the past at what Hussein did to those that rose against him in Desert Storm).
I just don't know what would be right.
