The Top 5 Reasons To Leave Iraq

The Iraq war has been going on for some time now, and quite frankly it disgusts me. I support our troops completely and as whole heartedly as you can, but here is the Top 5 reasons why should be leaving Iraq.

#5) It is a Distraction To Real Threats

The Iraq war is a complete and utter distraction. I keep waking up every day hoping that the Bush Administration will have woken up and realized that there isn't and never will be Al-Qaeda in Iraq. The members of Al-Qaeda are probably not as stupid as we take them to be, Al-Qaeda isn't in Iraq because we are! It is as simple as that. The real threat of the world is Korea and Pakistan, not the poor Iraqi's.

#4) Accomplished The Original Goals Set Out

So far in the war the Bush Administration has claimed a lot of goals in Iraq --like removing their evil dictator-- we have accomplished all but one of these claimed goals, Iraq's Liberation, and so why do we not end this war. The Iraqi's continue to have opportunities to hold democratic elections and have democratic officers, yet they refuse them and just elect the same old people from their last regime.

#3) Iraq Liberation Will Not Happen In the Near Future

Iraqi's are still living in fear even years after Saddam's fall, women still have to fear leaving their house. The people of Iraq will probably tell you themselves that their economy before the war was much better, and even though non of them were rich, they could at least survive. Where as now they are without water, gasoline, propane, or any other essential living need. This is another reason to leave Iraq, we are only doing more damage to their economy by staying. You cannot say people are liberated if they are working 3 jobs and scared to leave their homes.

#2) National Debt

With each passing month now the national debt raises in the billions each month--estimated over $12 billion a month now-- and is predicted to cost us over $3 trillion by the time we finally get completely out in around 2017-2020, and those are considered conservative numbers! We cannot continue to spend this much money and expect to have any economy at all left here in the future. We must leave Iraq before the cost of the war sends us into another depression!

#1) Deathtoll

Currently the official death total in Iraq has surpassed the 4,000 mark, and thats just what the government tells us, and the injuries sustained estimated right around 30,000. We cannot afford to put more people in harms way for a lost cause, it will only make people sad and angry. This is the reasons we should be leaving Iraq.


There you have it, the Top 5 reasons to leave Iraq.
