In favour of Imperium in Iraq?
I'd love to see us leave Iraq. I wish we'd never gone in. And yet... walk in, trash the place, make the situation worse, and then leave, thinking we've somehow done a good thing and a useful thing?
I don't relish the idea of staying, and I don't miss the Empire. But maybe we forfeited the choice when we went in.
For discussion.
