The West's resolve is being tested at every turn, and for the most part we are failing those tests. If the US leaves Iraq in tatters, then insurgents from Saudi Arabia and Iran will fill the void. If the international forces leave Afghanistan, same thing will happen. It is ugly no matter what.
Russia is testing our resolve with Georgia - and so far, we are failing that. It makes me shudder to think what would be happening if Georgia had made it into NATO by now.
We can't leave Afghanistan.
While I would agree with you on Iraq and Afghanistan....I dont want to see those places worse off than they are now.....Georgia is a different matter. This is Russian payback for NATO's meddling in Kosovo.
