I've been hearing from many, including those previously opposed to the war, that we need to stay in Iraq -- that we are now committed to see it through.
My opinion is that we were wrong to attack them and are wrong to occupy them. US soldiers and Iraqi civilians and rebels are dying every day, and it's clear that as long as the US is there, there will be resistance and opposition that will often times be violent. I don't feel that it's a good idea to stay in Iraq and would like to see us pull out, but I understand that option could be de-stabilizing if not done properly. Questions for Debate: If the US suddenly had a change of heart and decided to pull out of Iraq, what would need to be done to ensure that we were leaving Iraq in the most stable way that we could? What other options do we have other than "staying the course" and pulling out now? What type of reparations could we make to "right the wrongs" that we have made in Iraq? |
