A rock and a hard place

The news out of Iraq is disheartening. Will the Iraqis blame the US or will they be steeled in their resolve that Hussein and his loyalists must be defeated? Will they stand up and claim their freedom for a future without Hussein?

If the critics here in the USA and elsewhere have their way and get the US to *leave* Iraq, what is going to happen? Hussein will come out of hiding and take over. Only the US is strong enough to even attempt to restore some order in Iraq. Dennis Prager commented on his radio show this morning: we face this choice -- stick it out and suffer casulties or leave and let an entire nation fall to totalitarianism again. What do so called freedom loving liberals have to say about those options? Do they have an alternative?
