True, we never should have gone in the first place. But I do agree with thcbongman that we can't just pull out now. We fucked it up, now we need to fix it. The problem is I don't think the Bush admisnistration has any idea what that means and certainly not how to accomplish it. Like Vietnam, they feel that if kill enough of the enemy the problem is solved, and, also like Vietnam, that just isn't the case. At least in Vietnam we had a better understanding of what "win" meant to the enemy. Does anybody even know what the insurgents want? And please, don't give me the " to convert by the sword" bullshit.
