Here's a novel notion...


Given that most Iraqis don't want Americans there, why not remove all Americans from Iraq? You wouldn't have to defend them, and maybe then those Iraqis would realize that nobody else was going to do their fighting for them, and they'd have to start fighting for their own country themselves, or begin butt-smooching their invaders. And I agree with the President - America can't go broke trying to be policeman to the world. Did we ever stop to think that could be someone's plan for ending America's days as a world superpower? Get America stretched so thinly fighting brushfire wars all over the world that it can't keep doing it, and finally goes bust? It happened in Russia as the Soviet Union came apart at the seams. Their military personnel didn't get paid for months as I recall. 

If Iraq really means a lot to Iraqis, then it's time they proved it by getting their act together and defending it themselves. We've freed them from Saddam and Dubya and Osama Bin Missing, and that's more than our share already.
