82 Percent of Iraqis Against U.S. Occupation
This latest Washington Post poll of Iraqis is perhaps the best response to the person who argues that"I opposed the war but we have to stay until we create a more stable Iraq." Sticking around actually makes this goal less likely to achieve. How can we create a more stable Iraq if the presence of our troops leads more Iraqis hate us all the time?
As I have said, sometimes when digging a hole, it is best to climb out rather than keep digging.
