Should America bring its troops home from Cuba, Germany, Iraq and Afghanistan,  or one or more of them?

certainly,cuba is for Cubans, Germany is for the Germans; and so forth, why espouse democracy,independence and self reliance  to the people of the World when in reality these are not being practiced. These are only rhetorics a misnomer

The war is currently to stabilize Iraq,and basically to get a friendly presence in a very unstable and dangerous part of the world. As for why the troops are not home yet - If the US leaves now, Iraq will fall into complete chaos. The problem is 1. stay, and bear the brunt of the attacks by insurgents, or 2. leave, and let the country fall into complete chaos until some powerful warlord eventually unifies and takes over iraq.

Is that true? I think our armed force's should be protecting all our boarders, and not Iraq's. If America has this terror problem like Bush says then I would be the only smart thing to do. Vote the Tyrants out in November.

Considering that when we occupied Germany and Japan after the war for decades, it is not unreasonable to be there until 2010.  People forget history when it is convenient.\n\nIf Iraq asks us to stay, we probably will.  If Poland can enter NATO without bordering the Atlantic, why cannot Iraq?  And if Iraq does enter NATO, there will be NATO bases there, manned by US, GB, Polish, German, and all other NATO nations, except France, which does not honor its military commitment to NATO.

Um, no.\nNo matter who rules the house we should not totally withdraw. No the liberals have an uphill battle, if they shun the troops and make their efforts pointless then the american people will be furious with them and good luck getting re-elected. Thats just not a smart move. The terrorist wont like us no matter what, thats plain and simple. They attacked america so many times no matter who was "leading in congress". Think the american hostages in Iran in the 80's, World Trade 1 in 1992, The attack of the USS Cole, World Trade 2 in 2001. There are too many people who hate us for so many reasons. Bottom line, we should get the job done. The only thing that says we are losing this war is the media, ask the Iraqi people, they see that the US wants to help, yeah they want us out as soon as possible, but they dont want us to leave too soon. At work do you leave work unfinished?

Given that Bush has agreed to a speedy withdraw, I think its going to be a combo of Go Long and Home.\n\nHome -  a huge number of troops will finally come home.\nLong - I believe there will be US presence for a long time.  One is to help transition(there would be even more chaos w/o US forces).  Secondly, establish a US base like Okinawa, Frankfurt and many others around the world.\n\nI would've voted not to go there in the first place.  Since we're in this mess, I would have to vote for the Home (withdraw large numbers and keep some there until Iraq is able to manage things).

It's more than terrorism. It's genocide, plan and simple and if we weren't tied down in Iraq and Afghanistan, I"d say yes. However, I kinda remember a movie called "Black Hawk Down" and pretty sure we would just get caught in the middle, be somehow blamed for the whole mess and be attacked by both sides before it was all over.  Maybe it's time America looked out for America and get back to taking care of Americans, instead of throwing away money and lives trying to help others that, in return label us as occupiers and turn on us.

I would bring the military home from around the world and disband it. I would keep the navy and air force at same level. The Army and the Marines I would cut drasticly and make them into a lean mean defensive machine. There would be no more policeing the world. We need to protect our own borders more then we need to change governments. Lead by example. There would be a huge savings from this and I would reinvest that money into building infrastruture right here in America. We need that. That would create jobs to take care of the loss of military jobs. \n  Next thing I would do is fix the health care system. I would take it right out of the private insurances hands and put it in as a part of government. It is in crisis right now and we only have to look as close as north of the border to find a system that works. \n   Third I would overhaul the education system. As much as any federal can do. We are pooring good money after bad into this system, Year around schools to fully utilize the resourses would be one of the suggestions I would have. Another would be to pace the learning according to each students capability, I have knowledge that most students come out of school with very few life skills. So with the knowledge that the country needs people with all sorts of working skills I would target according to skill and inteligent level.\n   Taxes, I would raise the tax on the very rich back to pre Bush era. I would take that money and reinvest in jobs which always creates more jobs.  \n    5th I would leave my options open, depends on needs the first 4 are important to the country because the economy is what fires everything else.  But I do think it would involve illegal alians, send them home.

I wonder how many dead US soldiers you would have thought were 'acceptable' before we pulled out of WWII?  We could just mow Iraq down and turn it into a potato field (this was suggested with Germany after WWII).\n\nInflamatory questions such as this do not really get to the heart of the debate.

No, we shouldn't, and it pisses me off when people claim that those of us who oppose the war also oppose the troops. It simply isn't true, because we support the troops so much that we want them to come home.

I support the troops 500% -- Lets bring them home alive !!!!

"should America leaves Iraq immediately?"\n\nShould America leave Iraq immediately? Ideally.

No.  we can't just pull out of Iraq before its own government is stable.  Then it would be another Vietnam.  If we just pick up and leave, the country will turn into a police state, much like Somalia did during the Clinton administration.

Yes they certainly should, and I don't think it should be a question of being 'allowed' either. They should make the decision themselves for what they feel is best for their country without overbearing 'superpowers' breathing down their necks.

I think its a waste of time being there and one should look after ones own country for looking after others , meaning get out of there and go home , like our troops should too,\nthere will never be peace over there they have been fighting for 100's of years , so let them blow them selves up

no. the US should not pull all of the troops out of IRAQ right away. it should be a slow process while the iraqi govt learns how to handle the present situation on its own. by doing so, they will no longer need the US there and they will become a fully funtioning country that is able to defend its self.\nand im in the USMC
