Washington will do as it pleases. Iraqi government does not have the power to "throw us out". They would have done that long ago if they could. I think we have exhausted all our resources and can no longer afford to keep up the "occupation" in Iraq. As far as the OWS, they have a right to protest and I think it is good they are exercising that right. It has definatly exposed some of the "gestapo" tactics used by American police. A revolution begins first with protest and escalates from there. Finally peole are gathering across the country and speaking out against corruption, and they are being bashed for it. I wont be holding up cardboard signs and chanting, but I am ready when the real fight begins. I think it is sad when we bash those who are exercising their contitutional rights, even if we dont neccessarily agree with the core of the protest. Im sure we can all agree that there has been devastating corruption and something must be done. Will OWS have any real effect, probably not.
