If we pull out now, Iraq will make the ruwanda genocide look good.

I don't know, I feel that's a fact we need to face. Frankly, I think the chances of us ever putting a stable government in place over there are rather slim. What we have now is a civil war of Al Qaeda-in-Iraq vs. anti-AQiI, and our troops are caught in the middle of it. They're taking flak from AQiI for the usual 'infidel' bullshit and flak from ordinary citizens who are fighting against AQiI for not getting out of the way and letting the inevitable happen.
We've spent a ton of money over there - hundreds of billions, in fact. Those billions of dollars could've been spent actually improving security here at home, but instead they had to go into funding a quagmire of a war that I fear has actually made us less secure overall. Airport security staff insist on taking your nailclippers and shampoo away, but probably couldn't recognize a real weapon if it hit them in the face. Our borders are still as porous as an NMU chick.

Actually Romney is by no means a mainstream Republican. Not many have the record he does with getting a state out of a 3 billion dollar deficit. I would suggest you watch the MSNBC debate and it will give you a much better picture. Romney has the ideas, McCain to be mas just been a pain in the ass to Bush. he voted against the tax cuts, claimns the war was handeled wrong, hwoever always was seen as a strong supporter of the current war, he also stated he wouldnt overturn Roe V Wade if he had the choice, then said he would with no backing as to why he changed his mind, he is also old at 72, and his entire focus is on the military when economic growth is at is lowest point ever (the stock marlet is way overinflated).
