Let Maliki and his compatriots have their country. Let them defend themselves and let them make the choices that they decide that are best for their country. As he says, they are an elected democracy and they should not have to follow the lead of “occupiers”. Bring our troops home.

Debra,
The magic word that you left out is “OIL”.
We are still trying to get a leader who will bend at our will and sign contracts with our four biggest oil companies to take care of the Iraq oil dividends.
Bush and Condi can still see themselves as the “Big oil baron and baroness of Iraq.”

Iraq is not our country and we should let the Iraqi’s run their own country. To say “We cannot let you run your own country” makes us the dictators.

We should leave and let the numerous factions of Iraq fight their own battles.

We know they have ‘no weapons of mass destruction.’ We know Iraq was not responible for 9/11. We know Maliki doesn’t want us poking our noses in their business, so we must bring our brave military personell home, now.
