#1 You wont liberate it dufus, you'll condemn it to 20 years of bloody civil war. Completely killing the prospect of a better life for anyone in the country.

#2 I'm really having my doubts that these idiots are even worth fighting for. After the last two elections in the arab world I wonder if we couldnt have spent the money on something better, like bombs. Big ones.

#3 If we were to spend the money elsewhere I would suggest a bunch of pebble-bed nuclear reactors so that the US has clean power in abundance. Then we could pump out hydrogen (even at the 60% loss) to power the next generation of vehicles.

Without oil Islamofascism wouldn't spread far beyond the Islamic world. We could isolate them and let them burn themselves out on a diet of hate and sand.

#4 In a surprise shift, now the Suni's are seeing the US as the only thing that's keeping the Shia from slaughtering them. They now want the US Military to stay.

Al/ Ah the irony!
