i really mean that....how can we leave that shithole we didnt exactly create, but we made it a worse shithole than it was.
how dare we even think about leaving those people in the hands of the crazies we have allowed to ascend to power, who were at least controlled under the other crazy but a little less so, saddam?
i am one of the stupid people who supported the war, mainly to free those people and give them a chance at democracy .....ok its a mess, i was duped, powell lied, they fucked the whole thing up.....but to leave now....to just leave....is an action that completely lacks integrity....not to mention humanity.
we need to immediately reinstate the draft....draft every able bodied person 18 to 30 with no bullshit reasons for getting out of it...if you are in college you can go back when you are done your service....the only reason you shouldnt serve is for family hardships....make sure all the rich kids and the kids of congresspeople go....it will wake this stupid sleeping country up if nothing else and we need more boots on the ground and at home immediately....put 500,000 troops in iraq....arm them to the teeth....and stay there till its safe to walk the streets (well as safe as walking the streets in say -camden nj )and keep them there till we convince the UN to replace them with an equal number of well trained peacekeepers.
then put all these fuckers who got us into this mess in jail which would be more likely if the american people were pissed off that their kids were forced into service.
how can we possibly leave?
by the way my kids would have to go to so its not like i wouldnt be personally affected by my solution.
now i know this will never happen...too many fucking cowards in this country....but i really dont understand how people, especially people from this community of supposed caring people, can be calling for us to get out....just leave now....no matter who made the mistakes and how bad they are we are morally obligated to fix it before we abandon ship.
