What I don't get(at all) is voting for Bush in 2004(when he said in 2000 that he was against nation building. ) Remember the debate with Gore? Bush said he was against nation building, and then he went right out and has been nation building in Iraq from 2003 to today. Believe me, that is nation building. It will not look like it does unless we stay there. For the surge to be a success, we would have to be getting out of there. See, we are throwing away 350 million bucks a day there. That's not(to me) a success for American People. Like you said, our nation's infrastructure is badly in need of repair. Instead, we are using the money in that country. They want us to leave. Bush won't leave, because he knows they are gunna fight as soon as we go. When that happens, people are gunna wonder what we really accomplished there(what we really "won" there.) This is an artificial Democracy. They don't want. We want it. Therefore it can only exist if we stay there, and that's why we keep staying there. If the surge is a success, then why can't we leave? It really is like spilling a half gallon of milk, and claiming success when you've cleaned it up(still out of milk.)
