I care so much about the troops that I don't want them to die on a mission devised by fools. Iraq is not a 'war" that can be "won" in a military sense, by American troops. The only way Iraq will ever be a stable country is if sunnis and shiites are allowed to settle their differences.... spill each other's blood until they both get a bellyfull...decide they need to devise a political solution that divides up the territory and the oil revenues in a way that is acceptable to both sides.... the American military right now is in the impossible situation of being both the protector and the target for both sides...we are trying to protect sunnis, and sunnis are trying to kill us...we are trying to protect shiites and shiites are trying to kill us.... our presence there is not going to make this situation resolve itself any easier or any faster..... in fact, exactly the opposite will happen.... the longer we are there, the more protracted this conflict will be...the more men we will lose, the more money we will flush down the toilet...and the less we will therefore be able to do to deal with our real enemies who we are all but ignoring because of our presence in Iraq.
