We need to stay in Iraq until the job is done. We went in there to do what we had to and do also do what all that it would take in order to make it into what we wanted it to be and we will have to stay until we can be for certain without a doubt that what we did will last without us. We need to make sure that we left it better than we found it because quality is job number one for us when it comes to what we got ourselves into. Saddam, the arsonist, had set his own house of fire to kill his own and we, the firefighters, had to rescue his people from himself. I doubt that Saddam even knew what it took to run a country.

"what we wanted it to be"

 

Don't you think even one tiny bit that it might be wrong for people like you to decide how another country should be? Sounds pretty arrogant to me. I don't recall Iraq EVER ASKING us to come over there and turn their world upside down-do you?

 

NEWSFLASH: The US isn't  "what we wanted it to be" these days-how 'bout we work on it first?
