Woohoo! They must have some really, really fine-looking lawns in Florida!

We have remained in Iraq for 4 years because we want a unified and secure Iraq so it won’t become a haven for terrorists. Unfortunately, it seems that the Americans want a unified and secure Iraq more than the Iraqis do.

Let me give you an analogy. Imagine that you have a next door neighbor who refuses to mow his lawn, and the weeds are up to his waist. You mow his lawn for him every single week. The neighbor never says thank you, he hates you, and sometimes he takes out a gun and shoots at you.

Under these circumstances, would you keep mowing his lawn forever? Would you send even more of your family members over to mow his lawn? Or, would you say to him, you better start mowing your own lawn or there’s going to be serious consequences for you?
