You far-left people are very short-sighted. You want to improve America's reputation in the world. Meanwhile you want to withdrawl from Iraq. You know what will happen when we do that? Genocide. Civil War. Millions will be killed. And no....this is not the same as Vietnam. When we pulled out of Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger made a deal with the Chinese. In return for our withdrawl, the Chinese promised to pressure the communists in Vietnam to suppress violence and to limit their militantism. A promise the Chinese upheld. After Vietnam, they stopped communist expansion. Had we not made that deal, we would have been in Vietnam even longer. That secret Chinese deal was our exit strategy. We don't have anyone to make that kind of deal with when it comes to Iraq today. So if we leave, there will be an enormous power vaccum. The government admits it cannot defend itself. And then you will have Iran and Syria fighting for territory. The three islamic sects will murder each other. Why does this matter to America? Oil. If Iraq falls apart, our gas prices go up to $8 a gallon and our economy will plummit into depression. Our economy runs on oil. If that oil price spikes an enormous amount, transportation and trade costs go up. This means that the prices of good rise quickly, the value of currency drops, and you have inflation. That's why I think if Obama or Hillary win....they won't leave Iraq. They will not pull troops out. That's a campaign promise they WILL break.
