U.S. Air Strike Kills 40 In Iraqi Mosque (Read On For The Full-On War Crimes Debate)

[DTES]

If you look at the numbers involved in the fighting, there are lots who are not. There are also those supporting the coalition, should we just abandon them? No. THAT would be the irresponsible thing.
Iraq is now a mess and we must shoulder some of the blame for that but we should no just cut our losses and leave it in that mess.
Man Iraqis DO support out troopes and ARE glad they are there.
Nobody can doubt that Iraq is better off without Saddam.
I admit that things have gone slightly pear shaped but it is no reason to quit, just as mistakes made by US and British governments years ago are not reasons to not put them right now.
We MUST help deliver democracy to Iraq.

I agree with a lot of what your saying there RM, I didn't mean to imply that we should now suddenly pull out - that would make things a lot worse.

The point that I'm disagreeing with is the claim in your earlier post that we have already delivered these people a better place, ruled by a democracy, which we clearly haven't, and IMHO, won't for a long while yet.
