Default Re: Iraq : The Logic Of Disengagement

Clearly the country is worse off now then before the war, so why not just set everything back where it was.

You can pretty much say this about any country post-war. You think Berlin and Tokyo were happy, wonderful places after WWII? That's the reason we're staying, to help the Iraqis get back on their feet. Leaving and putting Saddam back in power would not be leaving it as we found it because we wrecked several parts of it and have a responsibility to fix it (or help fix it).

We couldn't even be blamed for what he might do, as we are simply admitting our error in deposing him in the first place.

Think about that for a moment. If we put Saddam back into power, we would most assuredly be signing the death warrants of many of those participating in their government now. If the police caught a known serial killer and then just released him, would you also claim that the police couldn't be blamed for any more killing that killer did?

In a perserve irony, I think the Iraqis deserve Saddam after all this. If they really preferred the way thigns were then let them get what they want.

Because we all know that everyone in Iraq wants Saddam back...

Honestly this is one of the worst Iraq ideas I've heard. I still have a hard time believing you're serious.
