Foreign Policy - we don't have much left of it. What we do have is foreign invasion, occupation, sensation, temptation - let me not get carried away. The fact is our government does not know what to do about Iraq. It has become a lose-lose situation for us. If we choose to stay, we will piss off more people and indirectly breed a new generation of terrorists to attack us (A study has shown the war has made us more vulnerable). We will lose more lives of both American soldiers and Iraqi civilians. If we leave, it show's our incompetence and many will say we have failed. But have we really failed? We were after Saddam, we got him. Now its time for the people who live there to decide how they should run their government.
We've invested in Iraq (trillions), but its time to cut our losses. It time to create true foreign policy which is establishing treaties, trade agreements, cultural exchange, tourism - all can be achieved through DIPLOMACY.
