Now that Iraq has devolved into the near-unsalvageable clusterfrick that many saw coming as early as late 2003, the pertinent questions will be (1) how did we get here, (2) who's responsible, and (3) how do we avoid finding ourselves in Vietnam 4.0 in another 10 years time. Perhaps you can start a thread on that. Aside from the Iraqi government and the Sunni Islamists, it's pretty clear who the blame falls on (esp. WRT our country). But there are other issues to discuss.

I had plenty of friends who served there who were telling me what a nightmare that place was and predicted what would happen the moment we left. Most of those predictions are right on schedule.
