"Now that we have this war, we cannot quit and leave Iraqi's a Civil War, we need to stay and help them stabalize their country."
It's already a Civil War, and stabilization was supposed to come with the first free elections in 2 decades, it didn't happen. More Iraiqs have died since the elections and the US military does not have the manpower to keep Iraq stabilized.
"We can, however, change the leadership that botched this up in the first place. We are Americans, citizens control the government."
We tried to change the leadership, but the mantra that people listened to was "moral values and no gay marriage". Now we find that the Republicans in Ohio invested state money into a hedge fund that went bust and they knew this before the November elections but failed to inform the people. The citizens of this country no longer have control over this government "of the people".
"We have the greatest military in the world."
The military has already lost its credibilty when it tried to cover up the torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison, and when that didn't work they offered up the lowest ranking as sacificial lambs to the slaughter. When the USMC failed to charge two Marines with murder for the blatant killing of unarmed captives. When the US Army took hostages in order to force an Iraqi general to surrender, and when US aircraft and ground troops fired on a wedding party. And now the "Greatest military in the world", is getting it's ass knocked around by a bunch of insurgents that Dickie claimed were in the "final throes" of life.
"We should convict the corporate criminals."
And who will lead this grand charge, the Inquisitor General of the United States, Alberto Gonzales, the man who defends the use of torture and would keep imprisoned for life men who have been charged with any crime.
"Right now the best thing Americans can do is get Bush away from this botched war and get some new leadership in power."
And just how do you propose to accomplish this amazin feat, since short of a revolution, the only way to remove a sitting President is by impeaching him. Taking into consideration that the Republicans control both Houses of Congress, this is about as realistic as a Hobbit.
The right thing to do is to establish a timetable for withdrawal of all US military forces from Iraq, and to work with the UN and Coalition partners to get the rest of the world to assist with making Iraq stable. It will take time but IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!
