Exiting Iraq and Human Rights

With the House and Senate debating exit strategies from Iraq, it is important to consider the human rights costs of immediatly pulling out of Iraq versus staying until the country is stable. Therefore, I have put together a list of articles debating future U.S. involvment. For more commentary visist Real Clear Politics, which has a ton of articles on the subject, but for just a few look at:

Staying is Not the Answer by Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha, the top Democrat on the House Defense Appropriations subcommittee.

What Murtha Meant by Fred Kaplan

Looking at Iraq (and how to get out) in the rearview mirror by Nicholas Kristof

Think Twice About a Pullout by Joe Klien

Vietnam Flashbacks by Fred Barnes

The Malady Recurs by Pat Buchanan
