- penguinsix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1There just finally coming to terms with some of the hard realities of leaving. Not political or strategic realities--logistical ones. Even if we wanted to go, it would take at least 20 MONTHS to get all the gear and personnel out of the country and the casualty rate of a retreat could be very high.

- caplist, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1It is time for us reassess our endless commitments, made within the framework of an interventionist foreign policy. Our commitments seem endless. It’s estimated we have over 700 bases around world, in 130 different countries. Intervention creates endless commitments and ongoing unintended consequences that obligate our military and even future generations to fight wars without the slightest involvement by Congress. We refuse to see how isolated we have become. UN mandates, backed by American troops and money ironically lead to neo-isolationism. Those who advocate the traditional American policy of nonintervention are ridiculed as “isolationists” by the authoritarians who want the U.S. to decide all disputes. Yet it’s their interventionist’s policies, which have isolated us, reduced our allies, and increased our enemies. We are more ostracized and isolated in the world than ever before.

However it works out, stability in the Middle-East is essential for a stable U.S. economy. As everyone knows, unrest in the M.E. was created by the present regime, thus it has got to have had a purpose. Find that reason and how to unravel the situation will be easier. To unravel this tangle, the ends have to be found first; and, to do that you go back to the start of Bush's presidency. That would take a step by step explanation rivaling Lemony Snicket's series of unfortunate events, to explain why, So I leave it to post-ers to figure out how not paying down the trade-deficit led to privatizing the military and martial-law of the media.
