We've been there more than 3 years now, we've trained 300,000 Iraqi soldiers, and we still have to do all the fighting, it seems. If the Iraqis aren't willing to eradicate jihadist elements in their midst, there's not much point to us staying there. <BR/><BR/>But if Iraq fails, you know what the real tragedy is? No, it's not the 2500+ Americans dead and maimed, or the billions of wasted dollars we pumped into that country. The real tragedy is that the cynics will have been proved right-that the mid east is hopeless, that Arabs aren't capable of sustaining a democracy.<BR/><BR/>And they will be the worse off for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
