they are fixing to have a civil war.\n\nThere will not be peace on earth until all humans are eliminated because good and evil are only concepts of humans.

Not anything more during this pres period. The military is stretched and presence in Iraq will be for many years to come.

The war in Iraq will end when the new Iraqi government can maintain what we have built for them. It does no good to pull out if the Iraqi Army and governement isnt ready to shoulder the load. If we leave before that time then we will have to come back and clean up the mess again. If we had eliminated the problem in 1991 then we wouldn't be here now. But we listened to the infinite wisdom of the United Nations.

I'll answer when you learn to spell IRAQ.

That depends on the resolution.  If we pull out and Iraq has a civil war, then no.  If Congress finally sends the necessary number of troops to secure the country for the 75 years - YES I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT'S HOW LONG IT WILL BE - then very eventually, it will be worth it.

Religious groups have been fighting for centuries. Now that Saddam is not there to cut their heads off if they misbehave I guess there will be civil war for at least 5 more years. Then some big dictator or religious fanatic will take charge.\n\nThey have lots of oil so someone will want to be in control besides G.W. Bush and the Christian Right.

unity is impossible in iraq. The religious factions are too seperate. Unless a dictator is reintroduced there can't be peace because the people there hate each other and us. Divide them up, give them militaries to defend themselves and create a weak federal government with a strong military as a deterrent

You tell the Iraqi government they have until, say,  6 months from now to get off their duffs and take over their own security.  \n\nWe gradually recede into the background.  \n\nIf the Iraqis stand up and do the job, good for them.  If they don't, too bad.\n\nIt's that simple.  It's what the Dims have been saying for quite some time, but because the Bush administration cannot admit a mistake, they cannot admit that something besides their "stand there and take it" strategy might possibly work.

The few Iraqi people that i have meet. \nHave been ordinary people who just want their country to have peace. \nthey want the chance to rebuild their country, to live in freedom and security, \nSome thing which they have not had the chance to do since Saddam. \nThe few i have meet told me they don't mind the western soldiers being there, until the time is right for the Iraqi people to take over. \nif the insurgence will leave them to get on with it.

Iraq is not yet stabilized...my home state is being invaded...so I would have to go with A.

"I have a plan"\n\ncyndie yes I can. stay untill the iraqi people can defend them selves and have established a govt that is sustainable for atleast the near future.  And anybody that is against that "kill them" its not easy but world politics and world safety is not easy.  and it is going to take time.  a stability in the middle east will start in the world effort for stability

no, iraq has allready been put back by a 100 years cos of the invasion, by the time the colonial troops pull out 20 per cent of the iraqi population will be dead, its allready 3 percent at the moment thats been killed cos of the invasion.

peace is, in my opinion, a metaphor for what we might think as being buddy buddy w/ others. that will probably never be the complete case w/ iraq.  i think that we will become somewhat understanding and that some ppl will always be bitter towards us, which is the case w/ the world, but we r already in there and need to help them get through the tough times that they are having

Leaving Iraq to Iraqis. But who wants peace in Iraq other than Iraqis ?

I think that we will be there for several years to come--at least 5.  Or until a new pres. takes the Oath and yanks them all (our troops) back. \n\nI don't think we will ever completely leave Iraq.  We still have bases in Germany, Japan, and many other countries. (Of course, they are our Allies now....maybe one day Iraq will will one of our Allies, too.  Wow, that's like imagining to live on the moon!!)

I think the general public of Iraq want this fighting to end more than we do!  Just remember that people are people, just with cultural differences.  If all people treated each other with respect the communication would flow freely and maybe we could learn to understand each other.

I think in a couple of days\n\n:> peace\n.
