America should leave Iraq
|
To remain in Iraq is to participate in a perpetual mistake. When simple individuals are in error society does not demand them to continue that error, society asks for a correction, or to cease to perform that error. To condone such an action is to approve of mistakes at the expense of good and proper conduct.
To find the mistake one needs to simply look at the motivations for war and consequences. The administration has continually changed the primary reason for the invasion, which implies one of two things, either there never was a main motivator for war, or the administration refuses to reveal it.
One cannot wage war on a perceived threat, a pre-eminent foreign policy is a dangerous policy. Humanity has not been blessed with the ability to foretell the future. This policy can also be used by tyrannical nations to wage war for any reason, to counter a perceived "threat." What happens when Mexico feels threatened by the United States? Is that reason enough to go to war?

We shouldnn't have gone there, but we can't leave
|
To leave Iraq in the state it is in right now is like leaving a child alone with a cherry bomb. My opponent and I agree that Iraq is in chaos, however, leaving will put Iraq in a worse state than when we went in.
The Bush Admenistartion has brought iraq to the brink of civil war, but is we we leave we run the risk of the al-quada and other terrorest in Iraq gain another country to move around and train openly much as they had in Afganistan.
My oppenent says that Bush must fix the mistake he made, and i agree with him on that. However, if he took my oppenents way of fixing it, he would only be doing the Iraqi people a bigger injustice than he did when he invaded them. By staying in Iraq we are not fixing the problem, we are only making it worse.
