US Iraq/Soviet Afghanistan

History may compare our quagmire in Iraq and its failure to the Soviets failure in Afghanistan. This administration should learn from that lesson.

Also, don't be fooled by the rhetoric that "if we pull out too early, Iraq will become bogged down in a bloody civil war". IRAQ IS ALREADY IN A CIVIL WAR! We are just becoming collateral damage.

What's wrong with a civil war?
You know, it's funny: This administration compares Iraq's fledgling so-called "democracy" to our own. But in getting to where we are as a country, good and bad, we had to go through our own civil war! Remember that? Perhaps we should begin to understand that it is necessary for iraq, in order to obtain a true self-determining gov't, there must be a civil war. Our presence there is only retarding this process and costing us our own democracy (what's left of it) in the process.

Please, I would like to hear what you think.
