I cannot believe my eyes.
Rummy has "Godwinned" the Iraq debate. He's actually comparing the situation in Iraq with Nazi Germany.
Consider that if we retreat now, there is every reason to believe Saddamists and terrorists will fill the vacuum--and the free world might not have the will to face them again. Turning our backs on postwar Iraq today would be the modern equivalent of handing postwar Germany back to the Nazis. It would be as great a disgrace as if we had asked the liberated nations of Eastern Europe to return to Soviet domination because it was too hard or too tough or we didn't have the patience to work with them as they built free countries.
You know, whether or not the troops are there or here, there will be civil war. Anyone who knows their history knows that the tension in the Middle East extends farther back than just last century. We can't fix the problem--the only ones who can are those living in that region.
