#1 We did not leave "prematurely". We left on the date agreed upon by the Iraqi government and the Dubya administration.
#2 The dynamic we see in the region today was set into motion by the decision to invade and depose Saddam and disband the Iraqi army. There is no putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.
#3 We've tried your arm and train strategy repeatedly in the region, and it doesn't work. How much American blood and treasure are you willing to flush down the sewer in what is now universally seen as an historically colossal fuckup?

There's no question about it. The sunnis would have flat given up and Iraq would now be a model of peace and democracy. And George W. Bush would have gone down as the greatest president in history. He would have been the only person to ever come along who ended the 1400 year old fight between the two factions of Islam. And we would all have lived happily ever after.

So you believe ISIS and the other sunnis would then have tucked their tails between their legs and surrendered? And George Bush would have ended a 1400 year old conflict between the two opposing heirs to Muhammed's legacy?
Well just for the sake of argument, let's say that would have happened.
Would it not even concern you that the shia government of Iraq would then be allied with Iran? Or is Iran no longer the axis of evil?

Iraq was controlled by force/Saddam for many years, so YES it could be done. Shias are the majority population in Iraq, why shouldn't they have a say so in government or are you a communist?

Show me somebody who has any politician for his "messiah", and I'll show you somebody who is really hard up for having something to worship.
I've quoted George Carlin in two posts today (I've been reading "Brain Droppings" for the first time).
Might as well quote him a third time.
“I've begun worshipping [worshiping] the sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, and a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to 'God' are all answered at about the same 50% rate.”
