What to do in Iraq
I really enjoyed reading Baker’s recommendations for Iraq. I thought it was interesting that Baker recommended getting other nations involved, such as Syria and Iran, which would eventually lead the U.S. troops to “gracefully” keave the Iraq situation. Though I see how this plan could work, I don’t think that it would be incredibly safe for the U.S. to leave Iraq, especially now, since it techincally is in turmoil. The troops are somewhat of a backbone to Iraq, is we leave now, Iraq may collapse. It is an incredibly sad situation, but it is inevitable for something disappointing and sad to result from this. Also, Iraq may become incredibly vulnerable if we leave, the nations surrounding it may come in and take advantage. Overall, I do think that Baker’s recommendations may work for Iraq, and though it is hard to say, it one point, it will be neccessary to leave Iraq, and to finally leave Iraq to become a strong and independetn nation on its own.
