I have been thinking about the war(not so much about who is winning) and how people are saying to solve it.

Republican: they say that America is spreading democracy in the world and that Iraq will be a stepping stone for democracy. I also saw Glenn Beck say that if the US pulls out it will be biggest moral scar since Vietnam.

Democrats: they say that America needs to pull out because Us soldiers are dying and that the US went in under false pretenses of WMDs which was really false pretenses for going in for the oil.

I haven't really seen a good third option. Both the R and D ideas will end in shit because no one can agree on what to do.

I think that going into Iraq was a shitty idea because, as I said, the US invaded under multiple false pretenses and decided to make up new ones as the war goes along. Anyways, I think that the Republicans reasons for staying are shit and the Democrats reasons for leaving are, also, sit. I think that since the US decided to invade a dictatorship that needed to be fixed but not in the way that it has happened.

I think that it is necessary to stay in Iraq not because of spreading democracy, but because the people there will be fucked if the US decides to leave. And I know that if the US stays they will end up staying there for a long time since the government there is going to shit if it was any good at one point.

I don't think that I expressed my opinon very coherently and I just kinda rambled on repeating the same stuff over and over again, but I think that more options other the two "accepted" part options are considered, because in my opinion Iraq is going to end in shit, but the US needs to attempt to fix it since they fucked it up because it was just so great for the Kurds and the Shi'a under Saddam Hussein.
