Cut off funding and then what? Watch the Iraqi people suffer under another dictatorship? No thanks.

Seems to me they are already suffering. According to IraqBodycount http://www.iraqbodycount.org/ over 56000 are dead and I don't know how many are maimed. According to the AP article at this site http://www.helenair.com/articles/2006/11/04/national/a03110406_03.txt about 100,000 Iraqi's flee the country every month to escape the violence. Doesn't seem like a happy situation to me. The big question is whether the Iraqi people will ever accept a peace imposed by us. A bigger question is why are we trying to create a government modeled after ours in a country on the other side of the world. Why are we getting our own soldiers killed and squandering our money on something that we clearly should never have been involved in?

Thankfully your political party isn't relevant enough in our govt. to have any real say in foreign policy.

NO do not cut funding (sane, American)

David S. I think you are making a huge mistake and one that many liberals make in trying to make 9/11 the reason we went into Iraq. The reason we went into Iraq is because they had WMD and refused to comply with UN inspectors, on top of that situation Iraq was in continual violation of the 1991 ceasefire agreement. Violation of a ceasefire is of course a valid reason to resume hostilities against a nation.

I wasn't saying that. I was merely pointing out the bad logic of shipping everyone who supported the war to Iraq, which would cost an awful lot of money.

Actually it would be done at no cost at all.  In fact it would actually save money for the country as they wont be paid and all of their assets would be taken in order to fund their illegal and immoral war of terrorist aggression.

So, you're basically considering mass deportation and asset seizure of people who you don't agree with? Isn't that, you know, as bad as Hitler?

Yep, sure is, but you have to remember. Populism created Hitler and Mr OMG GOP=DA TERROISTS is pretty mucy a populist himself.
