The United States Should Leave Iraq...

After reading my friends blogs I found that I definitely agree with my friend, Sarmila Bhatta http://www.sarmila-letsexplorepolitics.blogspot.com/ . She wrote about five years in Iraq. she argued whether war with Iraq is something to be proud of? Or is it worth it? Did we had another option to choose?
As our brave men and women in uniform find themselves embroiled again in a conflict in the Middle East, debate surrounding the timeliness and necessity of this second Gulf conflict has ceased in most professional circles. However, before the current conflict began, controversy raged over when and how to best prosecute this situation. Many argued that the United States should have worked through the United Nations to pursue a resolution that had the consensus of the world behind it. That endeavor, however, was doomed to failure from the start. The United States sought to solve this dilemma using military force. France and Germany desired to diffuse it using anything but force. In order to properly evaluate all options in this case, one must ask themselves how immediate a threat did Saddam Hussein pose to the United States and what is the best way to counter that threat? In my estimation, Saddam Hussein poses no immediate threat to the United States.
As my friend said “invasion in Iraq five years ago proved to be a failure”. Because what does the United States have to gain from a war with Iraq? The United States is in a tough situation. This country has gone to war without the UN’s approval, and now has more casualties than when the war officially ended. Now, the war could cost taxpayers $87 billion dollars, and more if the war drags on. The situation is at the critical point. If the Bush Administration does not leave Iraq, we will lose thousands of troops, spend billions sending more troops to Iraq, and we will lose the faith of the international community.
