get out of iraq as fast as possible. but i guess as long as iraq has oil that is not something america wants to do.

Not for years.  The governments of too many surrounding countries have far too much to loose if Iraq becomes a stable democratic state so they will continue to fund and encourage the "insurgents".  However, the violence should lessen as the new government gets organized and the USA starts pulling out.

Well go slow...don't resolve anything in Iraq....prolong present situation as long as possible.....take the benifit of present situation and get as much oil as possible.

The way to rebuild is to fund Iraqi companies.  That way the money stays there, instead of lining rich American's wallets.\n\nIt isn't a simple plan anymore, and perhaps never was, but Halliburton was never the answer!\n\nIf the money stays there, then it will continue to circulate, providing the necessary economic stimulus to bring the country out of poverty.\n\nIn order to eliminate terrorism, you must eliminate the things that cause terrorism.  ((Poverty, ignorance and fanatacism))  can't eliminate the latter, but we can reduce the poverty and ignorance.  \n\nDon't know if we can stay anymore.  It isn't that Democrats want to lose, it is that we know the war is lost already, now, how do we best clean up this mess, for our soldiers and the Iraqi people.

Soon...civil war in every sense of the term...is my belief. We can try to stabilize certain aspects but beyond that, they (Iraqi's) must deal with the fact that there is no more Saddam, and now is the fallout of the breaking down of secular agreements and accords inforced by Saddam....it was enevitable this was to be the moment we put boots in Iraq.

There is a solution, yes.  We need to stay in until we're done, until the Iraqi government is stable, and the people don't have to worry so much about the insurgents.\nTo the Iraqis I would say, "There is good in all of us, and evil, including our men and women who are in your country now.  MOST of them believe in what we're doing, and feel that you all have a right to be free of tyranny.  As soon as your government and police force are stable, we'll be out of here.  Keep doing what you're doing:  You're hopeful about the future, many of you are turning in the insurgents to the authorities, and you believe that we're trying to do good for you.  Keep your hope alive!  Most of us are, too.  We believe in you.  Please believe in us."

There are a great number of ways that the Bush Administration could mishandle the Iraq conflict even more. Here are just a few:\n*Declare war on Iran as well\n*Use Nuclear weapons (tactical or otherwise)\n*Use chemical weapons\n*Remove all troops imediately without training the Iraqis first\n*Get Israels help in Iraq\n*Inflame the Sunni/Shia divide even more\n*impose some form of govt that will not work (like a traditional democratic govt)\n*Refuse to accept advice from people with half a clue of what is going on.\n\nThere are just a few of the many ways that this situation could get worse, now lets just hope that it doesn't...

A big problem with Iraq, is it a lose-lose situation.  We stay, we kill more Iraqis and more American and coalition troops and still have a mess.  We leave, they have a bigger civil war than they have now.  \n\nReally, I would like to see Bush and the Democrats come to some agreement about what to do there.  They always want to play the blame game and the blame game, while fun for politicians, is deadly for our troops and the Iraqi population.

Our guys stood & still stand between it. Not so much an Iraqi civil war as a muslim civil war between sunnis & shites that al queada wanted to start all around US troops so we'd take the casualties & they could twist everyone onto the common foe/invader. Look at plans like Sen. Biden's which rips us out of there & encourages (literally) Iraq to break up into enthnic states. Then ask yourself what would happen with kurddish populations in Turkey, Syria, Jordan; what would happen with Arab countries assistance to the Sunni state dominated by al Queada; Iranian & Hammas support to the Shia state. It all makes for regional civil war (not to mention $200 oil) which we'll just have to go back & settle at a higher price. No offense to the honorable gentleman or whomever may agree with him, but how can a serious leader actually come up with such a retarded idea & propose it as the policy of the US - you don't like the war so your solution is to surrender & come home for six months before you have to go back & get even more of our guys killed then if you'd stayed & won? What the hell?

No, war is only the solution when one side refuses to comply and negotiate in a major problem and even resorts to violent tactics.

Solution?\n\nKill all of the pacifists.\n\nOnce it's only a matter of force, the bullies dry up and blow away.\n\nNot gonna happen, so we're stuck with negotiations on one end and military force on the other.\n\nThank you for your time.

That's already been decided. It's already in the mill. The solution for the delemma was the AIDS virus, and there will be more solutions. War is going to become every man’s duty and Bush and Cheney are going to are going to do their best to hide out in a big war where, they fancy, they have absolute power and no one will dare question their authority at the risk of being declared an enemy combatant. This is going to be the big one. A nice big population implosion. then, no worries, mate!

Brilliant! Use nuclear weapons to kill thousands of innocent people and bring an end to Operation Iraqi Freedom. How ironic.\n\nIt's people like you that cause the rest of the world to hate America.

Yes, it is that simple theoretically, but on the ground in Iraq nothing is simple, which is why we're in this situation in the 1st place.\n\nPractically, either option could be made to work to at least some degree, but symbolically, pulling out the troops at this point in the war would make our military seem as weak as it is, and even invite problem countries like Iran and North Korea to keep building up their nuclear programs.\n\nPersonally, I think that the result of this war should be determined by the U.N., yes I said it, the U.N.\n\nIt is basically the world's largest governing body and could send many more troops into Iraq without the moral and/or fiscal dilemmas our country has with doing that.\n\nFurthermore, if the U.N. entered the war at this point, no one would say that they were "forcing Democracy down the Iraqis' throats, because the U.N. is viewed more as a peacekeeping body than an angry snake being stepped on (the U.S. after 9/11), so their taking over in Iraq would be allowed by all countries.

The problem with your suggestion is that democrats can't win elections with it; and they are solely focused on the negative simply to win their November elections.  Positive thinking would only hurt their cause and morale of Iraqis and even our troops is not of their interest - winning is....pretty sad isn't it.
