Reports are that President Bush will unveil a plan tonight for a permanent military presence in Iraq, much like the presence we have along the DMZ in Korea.
So you mean,
much like the DMZ in Korea because there has been peace between those countries for about 50 years during which time the people of South Korea have known relative peace and freedom ... and the tyranny of the North (consumed by its fanatical ideologies) has been kept at bay?
A permanent defense a la the DMZ of Peace and Prosperity would be ... um ... good or bad, to us here?
My concern would be that it will be too
UNlike the DMZ. But trying for Peace and Prosperity is ... um ... good or bad, here?

I sure hope we stand by and help defend the
Kurds, even if the Dems cut the rest of Iraq loose.
Folks can and will blame a lot of suffering in Iraq on Bush, I won't defend that ... but here's the thing we gotta remember about the Kurdish areas: they're far better off because of the USA action against Saddam.
(insert outrage replies here; yes, there is anecdotal violence among Kurds ... but who'd be so foolish to abandon Los Angeles because there's murder and gang violence in LA?)
Can we sanely abandon THEM to the mad dog terrorists and suicide bombers and the maelstrom of Iraqi civil war, if we remove ourselves from Iraq ???
