RH, your arguement is fundamentally flawed. If the Chinese invaded I doubt they would let us vote to elect our own leaders. Or install our own governement and have our own police patrol the streets. They also would more than likely not let us have our own army. All of which is happening in Iraq. In addition if people started blowing up my own countrymen I would also not need money to turn them in. And what public school did you go too? What p

Reiki-House, Actually your wrong on more than one front. But to make things really easy for you, all the Iraqi's would have to do to get us to leave is to stop attacking and let things calm down. Then we would leave. I know thats a hard concept for those who do not care why they attack except for religious reasons. If the "TERRORIST" would stop attacking the troops I would gues that the Iraq Government would declare it safe and we would leave.

Your rant leaves out one very important thing, the tip line IS WORKING, as cited by the calls that actually led to something.
