ORIGINAL: truckinslave I said before the invasion of Iraq that a democratic, peaceful Iraq was the world's last best hope of avoiding war- real, honest-to-God, kill-every-damned-one of them war. I stand by that. Anyone who denies the real possibility of WW3 being, basically, World vs Islam is imo living in a dream world. So. Now that Iraq has almost become, and clearly will become (along with Libya) a training ground for terrorists and an exporter of terrorist violence, what should we do? When the next attack against America comes from Iraq, what should we do? Should we wait for the second, third, or fourth attack? The 15th? Should we wait to destroy them until they use nukes against us? We should revisit the circumstances of our precipitous exit from Iraq, of course, and punish at the polls all those who supported it (should "it" be: "him"?); but what should we do when Iraq attacks us? Well then, you're an idiot, then and now, and stand by it. Bush the Elder was right -- achieve our objectives, leave the stable situation. Bush Junior had neo-cons spewing bullshit in his ear. The mess there now (Obama is just his lapdog on this one) is his (and Rumsfeld/Cheney) handiwork. We were in Iraq because they wanted to attack something and we could get away with it in Iraq. If there's any truth at all to your doomsday fantasy, the situation will center around Iran/Syria/Russia. Yup -- economic, not Islamic. In fact Saudi Arabia would oppose that faction, as would other Arab states.
