the U.S. won't leave Iraq "no matter how many wounds it sustains,"
"our enemy is growing stronger day after day, and its intelligence information increases." He laments, "By God, this is suffocation!"
"We are racing against time," he says. Once democracy is in place, "we will have no pretexts," he argues. "If, God forbid, the [new Iraqi] government is successful and takes control of the country, we will just have to pack up and go somewhere else again."
Well, does that look like progress? They can keep packing up and going somewhere else, but I think they might run out of "somewhere else" eventually.
So I pose this question: Regardless of WMD, does the "foothold of democracy" seem to be valuable enough to legitamize the war after FACT of its effect like in this letter? It does for me. What is your opinion?
