How will just our few control a whole country of what...25 million now?

Well, one way is to bomb the hell out of their cities as we did in Fallujah or as we are perhaps doing in Sadr City with 2 million people. But we won't have to know about all the deaths because the media is not telling us.

If we stay, we need thousands more...just like in Vietnam. 58,000 died there while we kept ignoring facts.

"I've seen this before in my life. This is the same situation we had in Vietnam. Everybody then kept saying, 'just another year, just stay the course, we'll have a victory.' Well, we didn't have a victory, and this policy cost the lives of an additional 25,000 troops because we were too stubborn to recognize what was happening."

So you tell me what will be better if we stay and stay and stay?
