what's it gonna take, part 4

speaking of Iraq, there is a lot of ranting and noise out there, (including my own), but we really need a national concensus about what our goal is, and what it will take to reach it. the pretext for this was was a sham, it is hard to find anyone who will confront that assertion head on, but we are in it, and cannot simply let it go without achieving something close to what we need in that region.

to begin, let me say that we had what we wanted there, a stable government, (whose sin was straying a bit too far from our yoke), that was capable of keeping the real enemy, the nation just to the east, in check, militarily and economically.

so, what do we, the people of the US expect to accomplish? for once, I am soliciting opinions.

post, or e-mail if you dare.....
