US OUT OF THE UN! (YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT?)
I don’t want to hear any more platitudes like “As long as they’re talking with each other, they’re not shooting at each other .†That kind of stupidity presupposes that an enemy doesn’t use the “talking†part of the equation to get ready to shoot while the rest of the world that opposes him actually thinks that talking will solve the problem.
We can play that game too, or did that never cross your mind?
Adults do not pretend. Adults deal with the world as it is not as they would like it to be.
The way the world IS means that sometimes even Adults have to "play pretend" - pretend to play the game while advancing their own interests under the table. The idea that "Adults dont play pretend" is, itself, completely childish -- as is your recomendation that we boldly announce "Its my ball and I dont want to play anymore." .

The only issue is whether our sticking ourselves into the fight helps make America safer or whether it doesn’t.
Are you seriously saying that the effect on Iraq doesn't matter?
I happen to think that it does and that, regardless of the decision reached in the end, the reasoning behind it should MOST DEFINITELY take into account the effect on the lives of the people we forced into this mess. Anything less is simply dishonorable.

I agree with the commenters above. Iraq is the strategic staging ground for the inevitable confrontation with Iran.
A manifestly insecure staging ground where our troops will be outnumbered by hostile natives....great.
