Now's the time to leave Iraq

So now President Bush is employing further delay tactics in Iraq exit plans until 2007. How many commissions, committees, how much military input, and who else does he need to advise him to come to a decision about this grave matter? The American peopla gave a blatant message in the last election that bringing democracy to the Middle East by force was a big mistake, and that an expeditious exit plan is imperative. The formost reason to leave is to save American lives, and the second is to diminish the increasing horrendous debt on taxpayers. The Democratic Party won a huge election on this grave issue, and it behooves the Democrats to act on the mandate to work quickly toward ending violence and supporting peace in the Middle East. Yew, we have to help repair the damage to Iraq, but the people have to work out their political system, however drastic it may be. They will not do it when the United States is trying to control their affairs. Citizens need to contact their representative in Washington to counteract any more footdragging by the president.
