Well yeah. You don't have to tell me that. There wasn't a single time that I thought the war in Iraq was a good idea. Still don't think it's a good idea, just think if we pull out now, Iraq is going to suffer even more.

I don't see the UN agreeing to replace us and instead if we leave the whole country breaking into a bloody civil war that will make Sadam Hussein and US occupied Iraq look like paradises, possibly leading to ethnic genocide.

We screwed it up so it seems like our responsibility to stay there until it gets "fixed" or the government tells us to leave. It might cost us a lot of lives and money but it was out mistake in the first place.

To just say "Well that was bush, we have a democrat as president now! You are all on your own!" just lacks personal responsibility to me.

If you break your neighbors window it's your responsibility to pay the guy back, no matter how expensive it turns out the cost of that glass was.

If the UN actually wants to step in sure, but that's likely going to mostly be at our manpower and dime anyway, but slightly less so whatever. I don't see where the benifit would be for them, and the security council and general UN doesn't act unless it's beneficial. Look at the unfixed problems in africa for proof at that.

At least the African Union tries to do something.


The U.S. has a responsibility to its own people, as well.
