Opponents of the war in Iraq often ask what good can come of it, or has come of it. They always conveniently forget things like free elections in Iraq with 8 million voters, elections in Lebanon with Syria basically getting kicked out of the country, Qaddafi renouncing his search for nuclear weapons, coming soon elections in Egypt (though they probably won't the fairest elections on record), and woman can vote in Kuwait, among various other breakthroughs in the Middle East. Some would say those things would have happened anyway, but that's obviously not true, or some of those things would have happened at various points over the years. Instead they all occurred due to the domino effect of freeing Iraq from Saddam, and allowing the average citizen in the region to see what could happen if they get rid of their despots. The area is as close to general freedom and peace as it has ever been. This is not a good thing, it is a great thing!!! I, for one, favor world peace, and sometimes you gotta go to war to establish real peace. Should we pull out of Iraq before the job is done, the entire region will likely be thrown in to chaos, with the strongest thug winning power and the chance at lasting peace a figment of the past.
