Why We Need to Stay in Iraq

I hate war. I hate senseless killing.

I believe - on the basis of demonstrated 20th century history - that an American withdrawal from Iraq will only result in more war and more senseless killing.

Frankly, the question of whether or not we should have been there in the first place is still unsettled for me. But I have no questions about our continued presence. If you have doubts about it, start by reading Arthur Herman's article on the aftermath of withdrawal from Vietnam.
