A “Losing Mistake”
From a recent, lefty petition:
“Seriously, this war and war budget are beyond crazy. Newspapers are saying another $72 billion is a shoe-in. How have we let this happen? How can we stop it? One clear way is forcing any half-responsible Reps to stop funding what most Americans and most Congresspeople know is a losing mistake.”
It seems to me that the war is over. At this point, we’re deciding whether or not to fund the reconstruction of iraq. I may not like that fact that we’re in this situation, but nor do I see much of a choice. The power vacuum that we would leave in our wake at this point could be catastrophic in the middle east, with effects rippling globally.
I’ve had little time to read up, recently. What justfication is there to simply pull out?
