I think it was almost ridiculous to see this even come to vote in the house. An immediate withdrawal would be a less-than-welcome, even ludicrous, answer to the War in Iraq. My personal belief, which has been asked upon many times in Government class, is that there should be a timetable set to leave the country. I really don't think that the Iraqi government is up to dealing with the insurgency themselves and running their own country right now without a little bit of democratic leadership. Any comments to this? Feel free to have your own discussion in my comment box. I'll even write you back in the box if time allots.
