OH, HERE'S A GOOD IDEA

Thousands of protesters demanding an end to the occupation of Iraq took to the streets in cities around the world yesterday, calling for the withdrawal of troops and chanting slogans attacking the U.S. and British governments.

Are these pinheads serious?

I mean, like what we've done or not, are they seriously proposing that at a time when there is yet no functioning government, the borders are porous, thousands of militants and other miscreants are running rampant in the country, they actually believe that if the US and Great Britain withdraw their troops today this will accomplish something meaningful?

I suppose they believe at the withdrawal of the soldiers, the Ba'athists, the Shi'a, the Sunnis, the Kurds, and Saddam Hussein will all form a circle about the campfire, hold hands and sing Kum By Yah and all will be just peachy.

Sheesh.
