Thoughts From the Radically Moderate

THis is a list I've come up with on reasons to stay or go in Iraq. Please give me your input, and feel free to give suggestions to add. Thanks.

Reasons to Stay

--Democratic Iraq

--Pulling out would lessen US image

--Pulling out would make a Breeding Ground for Terrorists

--Dishonor Memory of Troops

--Prevent Iraqi Civil War

--Cost of Leaving is just too high

Cons

--American Casualties

--Iraqi Casualties

--Caught in Civil War

--American Public against War

--Iraqi public against war

--Not letting Iraqi forces take over

--Making US image in world lessen

--Forces stretched too thin

--Cost of staying is just too high

See a pattern? Like my history teacher said, you could substitute the word communist for terrorist and have Vietnam all over again.
