 | We must withdraw our military from Iraq, the sooner the better. The
reason is simple: Our presence there is a disaster for the American
people and an even bigger disaster for the Iraqi people.
It is a strange logic to declare, as so many in Washington do, that it
was wrong for us to invade Iraq but right for us to remain. A recent
New York Times editorial sums up the situation accurately: ``Some 21
months after the American invasion, United States military forces
remain essentially alone in battling what seems to be a growing
insurgency, with no clear prospect of decisive success any time in the
foreseeable future.''
And then, in an extraordinary non sequitur: ``Given the lack of other
countries willing to put up their hands as volunteers, the only answer
seems to be more American troops, and not just through the spring, as
currently planned. . . . Forces need to be expanded through stepped-up
recruitment.''
Here is the flawed logic: We are alone in the world in this invasion.
The insurgency is growing. There is no visible prospect of success.
Therefore, let's send more troops? The definition of fanaticism is that
when you discover that you are going in the wrong direction, you
redouble your speed.
