[quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"]If the Iraqis are so big on democracy, why are they currently engaged in a civil war in which the armed forces of the United States are needlessly stuck in the middle of?  After all, it's their country and we're just a bunch of damned foreigners to them.[/quote]That's the liberal press spin.  It's not a civil war, it is a case of long standing vengence campaign between the three major groups there for control of the country, aided and abetted by Iran and Syria.  No one is trying to break away to form a new country, which is what a civil war would be about.I believe we are there because we have other business in the Persian Gulf that will eventually need to be addressed if certain threats remain poised.  That doesn't mean I am in favor of nation building as opposed to a scorched earth policy of destruction and departure.  The State Department and the CIA have a policy of not leaving a power vacuum after the initial military victory.  I say perhaps we should just leave the vacuum in place and see what happens, and if we don't like the looks of that regime, we wipe them out again until they get it right.  At least that way our soldiers are not left to babysit in an attempt to attain stability.But of course that way is not politically correct for the more spineless members of NATO and the UN, so we have to choose between nation building or premature departure aka defeat aka Vietnam.  Given those choices, I'll stick with a policy of victory, and you can stick with the policy of defeat.
