This is indeed the shining pearl of wisdom in this thread. Not only are both parties corrupt and essentially worthless, but in so many ways the Dems talk a good game but aren't traditionally liberal so much as radical Social-Maxists, and the Republicans aren't remotely conservative, but rather just globalist, big-spending, hyper-capitalist neoconmen.
The legitimate political Right in this country isn't even acknowledged anymore. The mainstream media(and perhaps a few here) should pick up a copy of 'The American Conservative', or read some Paul Craig Roberts, Justin Raimondo, (The late)Sam Francis, or the like, and discover that the "Old" (ie. legitimate non "neo") Right has been squarely against Bush and his Iraqi adventures from the start; not to mention the obscene spending of his administartion and the Republican Congress, his criminal apathy toward and enabling of the immigration/invasion crisis, etc.
Of course the question remains - however much of an ill-conceived disaster Iraq has become(or always has been), can we simply walk away now? Is it not a foregone conclusion that the Civil War there will almost certainly intensify or descend into absolute chaos, once American forces depart? What ethical obligation is America on the hook for, regardless of how one feels about the war itself? Part of me says bring the troops home anyway...but is that realistic? And is it not likely that we will simply be forced BACK into Iraq to stabilize, or attempt to stabilize a nation in utter chaos...chaos we arrogantly and foolishly ushered in?
