Why do so many people insist on simplifying the Iraq war?

Question

Some people insist on thinking, we either leave Iraq or stay in Iraq. Why don't they understand that there is a such thing as military tactics. Just because Bush f'd up the situation in Iraq, it doesn't mean we should just leave. There are different military tactics we can use, ones that Bush haven't terribly screwed up yet.

Answer 1

because it is pretty simple

you invaded a country based on lies.

You are occupying it to steal their resources.

So stop the lies and thefts (and gang rapes, mass murders and tortures) and get out.

Answer 2

they cant accept that it's not simple because they're simpletons...

Answer 3

For some people it's just easier to think we can just run away and Iraq will turn into Arab-Disneyland while others mistakenly think of the insurgency as a traditional (and honorable) army.  If we leave before its time the country might fall apart and if we just blow up everything it will defeat the purpose of everything we are doing over there right now.

Answer 4

Because most people can only accept black and white answers, or just unable to understand the gray areas type answer.
