"The majority of Americans want us out of Iraq and I place myself within that majority. I also see no point in some elongated presence in Iraq for the purposes of "nation building" as this seems totally in opposition to the principles we as a nation were founded upon which is freedom for ourselves and everyone else to choose as they will."

so what about every other conflict? aren't we all there still with no chance of leaving any time soon? what makes Iraq any different? if someone wants to say we are there for oil then Iraq is the perfect place to base operations from, right?
