I'm Confused
Last year we couldn't leave because things were going so badly for the Iraqis, this year we can't leave because things are going so well.
Obviously we need to get to a position where things just moderately suck, then we can get our people out. That much I understand.
The part that confuses me is this; if we're waiting for a stable government where conditions are just moderately awful, just why did we depose Saddam Hussein and kill tens of thousands of people and spend hundreds of billions of dollars in the process?
