I used to think our boys were after the oil, but no so much since Cheney and Rumsfeld pulled their shenanigans. Those pricks saw opportunity written all over destabilization, and hindsight has proven it. 

I totally agree with the summation of your previous post. Leave and watch the show. US policy has created the monster, and the longer we remain the more reason we give them. My main concern is if nuclear weaponry enters the picture . Nobody on the planet escapes that crapfest. 

It rips at me that I have come to the conclusion I wrote above. Our policy made a bad situation worse, and to just leave it seems to be another terrible mistake. But as Fred astutely pointed out, it's looking like we'll never develop a successful, peaceful way out of this. Getting the "coalition" together that's needed is like herding cats, unless some sort of divine intervention occurs. And my faith just isn't that strong. So I guess it's a rationalization to say "just leave and stop making it worse". At least fall back and regroup, and hope that yields some sort of positive thought process.
