Do you think we should stay, though they tell us to leave?
And the analogy comparing Iraqis to animals, who have no way of thinking for themselves, or making decisions, I thought was just ill-conceived. Iraqis are not that helpless or dependant. I just thought it was a bad analogy.
You are mistaken, or a liar. I didn't answer with a question. This was my answer.
It is immoral to break your word to a people, who's land you are occupying. It is immoral to tell them you will leave if they ask--and then not follow through.
There is a chance of a stable government in Iraq. It won't appear out of thin air. I hope the Iraqis are wise enough to know they should take the help they are being offered.
I asked if you think we should stay even though they ask us to leave. Why won't you answer my question?
