The Iraq situation should never have come about in the first place. As I see it it all came about because the Iraqis started trading in Euros for their oil instead of what had always happened before, trading in the US dollar.
On that note I don't think it would be fair to withdraw troops now and leave the poor Iraqi civilians to be caught up in a civil war that was none of their making.
The majority of Iraqis want occupying forces to get out of Iraq. It is their choice and their homeland, we have no right to remain there. Some may argue that it is not true that most Iraqis want occupying forces to withdraw, but then that is precisely why there should be a referndum on the issue: to finally conclude what iraqis want. |
