    you have to admit...things are going great and the region is more stable than ever...

    So what exactly is the timetable for bringing a dictatorship like Iraq into a functioning Democracy? If I'm so wrong about it taking a long time, then I would like to hear from the penguins on this board how long it would take to "get 'er done."

    Everyone seems to be a dreamer until they're faced with the reality of actually bringing a better way of life to people. Then it's cut and run time. You can add that one to your list…"cut and run."

    could you define "long time"...? I personally think 3 years is a "long time"...however, some may think differently...perhaps cheney was wrong..."last throes" ring a bell...

    I guess we can justify our stay in a number if different ways...it's my understanding, yesterday, a general stated something to the effect that if there is a civil war in Iraq that we should leave...perhaps someone should tell him he's nothing but a "cut and run" lib...

    How about just not making such a pointless venture in the first place. The costs out weigh the benefits. They don't want us there. People don't want to send their children over there to be killed spreading 'democracy' to people who obviously don't want us in their business. What is the goal exactly and why is it worth it?
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    The goal is presidential power and it's been accomplished quite well.

    There's a new reason to stay every few months. Next thing you know, they'll have to stay to control an outbreak of SARS.
