Lieberman: Our Troops Must Stay

Writing for the Wall St. Journal, Senator Joe Lieberman summarizes the current state of affairs in Iraq.

A quick summary is:

• The Iraqi people are better off than they were three years ago
• The future of Iraq is likely to be better than it is now
• The terrorists/insurgents are the minority, not the majority. 27 million Iraqis vs. 10,000 terrorists.
• We have made some mistakes in the past
• We have learned from those mistakes and are doing better now
• Although Americans are increasingly pessimistic about the war, Iraqis are increasingly optimistic about their own nation
• These events dovetail with several other positive events taking place in other Arab nations
• The worst thing we could do now would be to prematurely withdraw from the region
