Simple fix?

There are no such things as simple fixes, Mr. Warner, in politics or in wars. When Iraq was created by France and the Brits after WW I they put down the foundation for the problems of today. The Sunni's, who were running that part of the Turkish empire, were left in power and control. Saddam H, a Sunni, kept his power by terror and killing his opponents and intimidating every country around him, with the exception of Syria.
This state of terror had WMD, look up the gas attacks in the Iran/Iraq war and the Kurds. The development of nuclear weapons was also on line.

To leave now is like leaving Germany in 1944 before the Nazi"s where totally defeated. "If you go through Hell; keep going! W.S. Churchill.
When the USA pulled out of Lebanon and Mogadishu they were labeled; "a paper tiger "with no guts or will to fight, In my opinion 9/11, Madrid and London are the results of that. If you want to know more about the muslims way of thinking look up www.Faithfreedom.org; it will give you a very clear understanding of the islam/muslim ways.
