For those who refuse to see the moral justification for leaving Iraq, the economic reasons should convince you, that is, if you truly believe in Capitalism, and dont have some kind of Socialist agenda backing your reasons to stay there.
I know, I know, some Liberals here are going to dishonestly build a straw man and start calling me cold-hearted for taking this approach, and some Neocons are going to attack me on emotional grounds (they want to win of course, and are willing to prosecute this war to the last drop of other peoples' blood), but it matters not whether or not I care about the Iraqi people, or whether or not I choose to buy into the notion that the United States is the policeman of the world. The fact is, if you believe that Capitalism is best for the American economy (and I have always believed this), then the bottom line is telling us that leaving is the best decision we can make. After all, if you are backing corporate rule in America, then you should listen to what the corporate elites have to say in the matter, wouldnt you think? It is worthy to note that, in addition to this argument, I also care about the unnecessary killing that is going on in Iraq, and therefore oppose the war on moral and Biblical grounds as well. However, the argument I am making is based, not on emotion, nor on the Bible, but on the cold, hard, monetary facts of economics.
It is time to face the fact that citizens who live in the Middle East have put a poison pill in our one sided negotiations to be the CEO of that area, and have gotten together and voted out our hostile takeover of the region. It is also a fact that the people of the Middle East own more stock in their nations than we do, and as long as they are the majorityholders of their interests, and continue to vote with their hearts, as well as with their weapons, the ouster of the United States as Chief Executive Officer, then the Chief Financial Officers of our nation (which are the corporate economists), will have no problems convincing our own shareholders (which is we the people), that the proposed merger and takeover of Iraq is not in the best financial or corporate interests of America. In spite of the attempts of our own Arthur Andersons (which is Cheney, Rumsfeld, PNAC, et al) to cook the books on this takeover, while telling us that we are making money hand over fist in Iraq, sound financial planning is now entering back into our reasoned way of thinking, in looking out for our best financial and corporate interests. In the end, Iraq is just a white elephant which we must divest, lest it eventually drag our profits down, and ultimately turn the United States of America into a penny stock.
Lets see what happens with our upcoming shareholder meeting this November.
