The Iraqi war and it 's future.

Now that the congress is finally taking up the debate as to what to do with Iraq let us not forget the disastrous effect pulling out would have at this time or any time soon on that struggling, thanks to us, country and its people.
Pulling out solely for the reason of pulling out would allow for Iran and Syria, two of the Middle East most ardent U.S. supporters, to step into a country that is just ripe for the taking. That is something that the U.S. and all of it's increasingly nervous Arab allies don't want to see happen. Yes, it was wrong, very wrong,to have entered into that war in the first place but it would be just as equally wrong to pull out while leaving Iraq incapable of taking care of itself. Furthermore, any resolution that condemns the war would only be that a winded and meaningless statement that would not do much to bring the troops home while sending a clear message to our enemies and allies that we can not be trusted to finish the job. If congress wants to debate a real issue it should debate the reasons we went to war in Iraq in the first place. Ah! but there they will find that there is enough blame to go around for everybody. So lets give General Petraeus a chance to get the job done after all,"We" created this mess, yes, "We" meaning Democrats and Republicans alike and "We" should now at least see to it that when we leave,and we will leave,that we do so knowing that the Iraqis are in the best possible shape to effectively govern themselves and in the best possible way to protect themselves. American policy should not be decided the same way we select our American Idols. Thank you
