President Bush accomplished what he set out to do by dethroning Saddam Hussein.

But now it is evident to me that the United States is not wanted in Iraq. Even the local residents are turning against us.

Before anymore of our fighting men and women are slaughtered there, bring them home. Let the Iraqis fight it out among themselves, and see how long it will be before they ask

for our help again.

Maybe they will have a civil war, eventually, and solve their own problems.
