take iraq (please!).
civil war might be inevitable whether we leave or stay, but nobody knows for certain, so if you advocate pullout, and we stay, and it becomes obvious what a hole we've dug ourselves into, you're proven right.
but you take a big chance that you'll get what you want and we'll exit and then the lid will blow off.
then hawks will cry "told you so" and the fickle public will reelect them.
frustrating!
but you got to do what's right.
