Your translation- lets baby-sit a civil war & continue to extend our troops beyond their capabilities and leave our country vulnerable.  Saddam is gone, they have a new government- its up to them. If we leave, so will most of the violence.  Have you read 1984? Maybe then you'd understand the ignorance is strength comment. Ron Paul is right & if neo-cons listened to him in the 1st place, we wouldn't be in this mess. But hey- stay the course! Its worked so far, right mate?
