For someone who has such a vile reaction to our current President and to his horrendous invasion of Iraq with all the subsequent problems, e.g., destruction of property, killing of innocents, millions of refugees, lack of security, even less services, it has been hard for me to support the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party advocating a rapid withdrawal of forces.
It not only seems totally irresponsible for us to walk away from the disaster we caused, but I admit to fears of the outcome to those still present in Iraq and for the region in general.
Whenever you hear politicians talk about the problem, apart from the few who can see things without shades of color, e.g., Kucinich, it seems as either they are buying into the current vision of the administration or being vague. However, I share the problem.
The National Catholic Reporter (NCR) represents a trusted media source. The paper advocates very liberal positions and yet, it too is very cautious about our next steps in Iraq>
NCR reviews the status of our involvement and the potential problems in leaving precipitously. The paper also advocates regional involvement, a necessity repeated often by this writer.
Bush has not only presented a legacy of national debt, but he will leave us with an enduring problem.
