and 1 good one.
See the ePluribus Media opinion piece Top 10 Bad Reasons for Staying the Course…and 1 good one by writer Jeff Huber.
Huber debunks the reasons for staying in Iraq in a Letterman-like countdown.
10. Democracy takes time. America needed 13 years to write its Constitution.
The American Revolution analogy is ludicrous. Britain did not invade the American colonies in order to liberate us, and we did not ask them to stick around for more than a decade to help us form our government.
9. If we leave now, we’ll embolden the terrorists.
They’re not exactly shrinking violets now. The longer we’ve stayed, the bolder they’ve become.
8. Withdrawing will show lack of American resolve.
Getting in a bar fight over a girl shows resolve. Waking up in jail with your nose broken shows how stupid you are.
Read all ten at 10 Bad Reasons to Stay in Iraq and tell us which debunking you think is the best.
