And why would Bush nuke Iraq on 9/12? Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Even Bush has finally admitted that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Bombing Iraq on 9/12 would be like, well, invading Iraq a year-and-a-half later - a totally wrong action.

We've already reached that sad milestone. And some lives would have been lost, but most likely not as many as 2600, had Bush concentrated our military efforts in Afghanistan and in capturing or killing bin Laden.

How do we remedy the situation?

We leave. We remove our military forces, and help Iraq with economic and humanitarian aid. The continued presence of our military isn't helping.
That won't help turn back the clock and somehow reduce the number of terrorists our attack on Iraq helped create, and it won't bring back the 2600 American lives already pissed away. But it will stop the senseless loss of American military lives, and it will remove one of the major causes of increased terrorism in the Middle East.
Bring them home. Bring them home now. Bring them home before any more American lives are pissed away.
