Re: My Encounter with Ron Paul and an Iraq Discussion

In the elaboration, i would've wanted to say that leaving the current government in power and for us to treat them as the sovereign owners of the nation would be to leave a lasting negative sentiment in the region as well. This may have potential blow back too. USA shows up, sets up a government that earns the control of one of the many ethnic groups, this perpetuates a civil war, and then America just steps out the way with no reconciliation or reimbursement for the damage done.

!?!?! So we should try to undermine the democratically elected government of Iraq at a time when it's fighting desperately to reign in rogue Shiite elements and defeat terrorists who routinely attack civilian targets? That's an awful plan, and one that is good for neither Iraqis nor Americans.
