Please tell me that you don't really think the Middle East is "stable"?!
I never said it that the job is done. It will not be complete for many years. But, the progress that has been made can not be denied. As long as who ever is put in office knows the stakes involved and does the job than Democracy will continue to flurish over there.
As of now the ignorant portion of the American population wants to abandon Iraq completely because they're paying to much for lumber at HomeDepot. We are at war!!!
If the Dems decide to pull out for no other reason than to please the American people than all of the progress that has been made, the deaths of our bothers, and the money that has been spent will all be for NOTHING. The middle east is not stable but it is on a path to civilization and Democracy (the only system of freedom yet known to man).
There are many people that don't believe in what we're trying to accomplish in the Middle East. Think of it like this: Democracy allows for diplomacy and negotiations to take place. Just like our alies and the rest of the free market system. In the past we did not have a system of diplomacy with the middle east. It is essntial to have stability with in that whole region in order to establish trade and what ever elso our global economy depends on. The world is a market and it is nessasary to have everyone on board to keep it flowing and to stregnthin the global economy.
Not to mention the whole religious and humanitarian aspects of it all.
