If we leave now, we are just inviting another 9/11.
For what it's worth, I think the Bush administration has been a disaster for this country. I believe that going to war was a mistake but it's too late to do anything about it now. we have to finish the job. Too bad Kerry is such a complete putz.

Did I say leaving was a
good choice? No, I didn't. I even said "you leave, you lose". It's just that you also lose if you stay. There is no "finishing the job", the middle east will remain a huge problem for many decades to come.
Staying or leaving has little influence on "another 9/11". Staying pisses them off, leaving gives them confidence. They'll keep trying to blow up the west and it's people no matter what.
