Safe Sex Drive: Pull-Out method not effective
By punch bowl | August 31, 2007
On Wednesday, the Washington State University College Republicans held their first event of year: Safe Sex Drive.
It was meant to express their strong belief that a pull-out of Iraq would be an ineffective way to advance U.S. interests and would instead result in civil war, chaos, and regional destabilization. Much like pulling out is an ineffective way to…you know….
The message trying to be portrayed is short and sweet: The pull-out method doesn’t work
Here is what a conservative reporter for the student newspaper at WSU had to say:
The military has been in Iraq too long and put so much time, effort, money and lives into the war on terror that it simply is illogical to withdraw all the troops at once at this point in time. Pulling out would cause the democratic government currently set up to collapse, giving Iraqi insurgents and terrorists the chance to overthrow the current Iraqi government. This would be a complete disaster and put innocent people in imminent danger. The United States has accomplished too much by freeing the country of Iraq from one of the most brutal dictators in the modern world. Why make the irrational decision to leave with the job half done?
Heartless or stupid you may call me. Well guess what? Whether you believe the war in Iraq is just or not, we are part of it. Just like many people here on campus, I too have family overseas and want nothing more than for them to come home safely. However, I have come to the realization that in order for the soldiers to ever come home we must do what is right. We must finish the task at hand ensuring that the Iraqi people can have a little something that we call freedom, and freedom is never free.
