I do support aid to other countries but not for massive, unfathomable projects; I did not even say Iraq for the reasons you mentioned. I agree that Iraq will certainly not be a peaceful utopia, but our presence is fueling the violence, not quelling it.
No, you misunderstand. You chose to call...
I know that our image has been tarnished for decades, not just after the Iraq war and I said nothing to state or imply otherwise. Our violence has in many cases protected the wicked and hurt weak, which is what I want to stop.
I’m speaking about how we come out of the Iraq situation. Our...
You claim to be against the ‘stay the course’ approach yet when I point out that stay the course with no end in sight is the same thing as withdraw with no end in sight you agree with me but you still advocate phased withdrawal with no end in sight. And you accuse me of being set in my ways. I...

The war is the source of financial burden, deaths, and enemies. The longer we stay there, the...
Because I'm sure that they are begging for the US to stay and now see us as some sort of beacon of human rights and freedom.
You were defending his second opinion and implied that his first opinion would cause problems. I was saying that occupying this country is causing us problems. That was...
And now we should accept our losses and bring our soldiers home. Let's not let our lack of knowledge, our fear, a biased media, a lobby that does not care about our interests, and corporate greed continue to hurt us.
Either Obama is being indecisive or is saying what is convenient for his campaign, as opposed to what he actually thinks is best for our country when he changes his stances like this. I don't want to elect someone who doesn't know how to make a decision or who isn't honest about what our future...
