WE will never know if staying in IRAQ Militarily for 40 years would have lead to stability, because OBAMA ran on and was elected by the promise of getting the troops out.

Now, we will be sending Troops back to IRAQ and expanding into Syria.

Obama CAUSED this.

Japan surrendered because we dropped two atomic bombs on them and they thought we would continue to drop atomic bombs on them until they surrendered. And when they surrounded their culture of obeying their Supreme Leader helped to pacify them. Iraq and the people of the middle east have a much different culture. They didn't have a supreme leader and we didn't threaten them with the use of Atomic Weapons. Japan played by the same type of rules of war that most people did back during WWII. The Germans also surrendered after Hitler Committed Suicide and they also lived by certain rules of war. They didn't attack the US troops that were stationed in Germany for the last 70 years. Unlike the Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East that never played by the Western Rules of War. Remember when Iran took over our US Embassy in Tehran. They didn't play by our Western Rules of Diplomacy either.

There is no way we could have left US troops in Iraq and had the type of occupational peace that we have in Germany and Japan after WWII. These are apple and oranges and never even close to being the same situation.

George. Think or go back and study the history of the Crusades in the Middle East next time you try to compare that area of the world to Western European Countries.

And today we are not the only Country with Nuclear Weapons as we were at the end of WWII. That changed ever since the Russian got the Bomb and the Cold War has been going on ever since. And that war is getting hotter by the minute today. Russian ships are firing cruise missiles into Syria from the Caspian Sea in the last hour as well as bombing Western Syria with fighter Jets and artillery. BTW: that area of Syria is where the anti Syria fighters are located. The same ones that the USA is backing and who are trying to topple Assad in Syria. And the Russians are backing Assad. The threat of more wars with Russia is eminent today.
