Please extend my complete agreement with the insight, concern, and heartfelt compassion to those who suffer in Iraq. As an interrogator, I am able to gauge the feelings of some Iraqis. Yes, it would be a bloodbath, if America left. It has been already, on a local basis, when American units have been relocated and left temporary power vacuums. I know of three communities, where the Iraqi police were all attacked on one day, shortly after the Americans left the area. This would happen on a national basis if the Coalition Forces withdrew completely without a strong, stable government to replace it.

p>Love your work, Ben. br> -- SGT David Shoup br> Operation Iraqi Freedom /p> p> A big thank you to Ben Stein for his article on Thanksgiving and the Iraq War. He is right 100% and his article is a humbling reminder that we should stop wishing things were different, look reality in the face, be thankful for troops who defend us and face our global problems with a little courage and a lot less short-sighted egoism. br> -- Patty Adelmann /p> p> Thank you and Mr. Stein for his eloquent article about staying the course in Iraq and the thanks a grateful nation should feel for its brave men and women serving in the military, wherever they may be, many of them sacrificing everything so that we can preserve freedom here and spread its blessings abroad. br> --
