I didn't and don't agree with the invasion, but we have to deal with Iraq as it is now.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Swaraaj,

As much as I want us out- I don't think the Iraqis deserve what has happened to their country. The worst outcome is for a long-suffering people to live without hope. Free elections are just one aspect of a democracy-they don't create one by themselves.

All the more reason to work to improve the technology for alternative fuels and increase the CAFE standards. Also, if we leave, what happens to the permanent US bases and the expensive new embassy that we are building? And haven't multinational oil corporations already set up business in the south?

If the Shiites are going to be that blatant at seizing oil wealth and cutting off the rest of their fellow citizens we should feel no remorse in letting them go their own way.
