Peanut Gallery — On Continuing The War

The problem as I see it is that whether we agree or disagree with the decision to go to war is a mute point.

We are neck deep in Iraq. Our elected president made the decision that we needed to become a nation builder.Our elected officials made a decision in the majority to support that decision.

Our credibility as a nation is on the line and we MUST be successful in our mission there. For those who disagree with this war it may time to take a step back and see if their efforts are productive to what we must do. We left Vietnam without accomplishing the mission which was to stablize democracy in the region.

We cant do that again. We must channel our efforts into a plan to make democracy work in Iraq. Unfortunately I think we vastly underestimated the cost that it is going to take to do that. History will judge the wisdom or lack of wisdom that this administration has. Right now we are too deep in the weeds to try and make those judgement calls.
