The Dem You Tube Debate

Can you give your account on what the situation is like in Iraq then?

I try to get my sources from experts on Iraq or from Iraqis themselves and I realize that this only a small part of the whole scenario. My official position on Iraq as of now is that I have no idea what we should do. I support neither party because both parties are making the same mistakes as Bush by basing their decisions on assumptions.

From what I have read from numerous sources is that if we pull out, Iraq will become a chaotic anarchical state much like Somalia. Also, I haven't seen that we have had much progress in Iraq and I have huge doubts on whether that will change.

The thing that scares me is that the people of Iraq do not trust the government and the police and I do not know if this view is isolated or widespread. This is one of the many bits of information I would need before I could even think of making a decision that could even close to coming out successfully.

Here are two articles that I find at least to be mostly unbiased and somewhat accurate. Comments would be great if you have a different perspective.
