Ma'am,
We Americans will oudoubtedly say and agree that our honorable and brave soldiers have sacrificed their lives for the protection of our Precious Land. Wherever the American Flag is in need, abroad or domestic, they will be there within a few hours, by shear might and size of our Armed Forces.
We have lost over 4,000 soldiers in Iraq, as a consequence to the viotile setting in Iraq; and the surge of terrorists into the porous borders of Iraq in the months after post 2003 Iraq.
The goal is to stabilize Iraq and retrain their military, under American premise. And that has already been accomplished. The United States has retrained over 400,000 Iraqi troops and more and more Iraqi Military Units have taken over areas that were once heavily guarded and administered by the American Forces.
No doubt, many of our sons and daughters have died in defense of the American Cause. And their deaths WILL NEVER be in vain. Though it may have been inoportune for us to have invaded Iraq, we cannot turn back time and ask for the lives of 4,000 of our troops to come back to their lifeless bodies. Nor can well ask for the thousands of innocent Iraqis that were killed in the crossfire to be given back.
The most important thing is that Iraq is being stabilized, and with an American-trained military and American backing, their government will be able to take the reigns after the United States removes a considerable amount of its forces from Iraq.
Though I can assure you that the United States will probably leave a division or so of its troops in Iraq. For strategic as well as political reasons. The rest of troops will be redistributed throughout the world and to strengthen the American Mainland Reserves.
Obama will have more diplomatic options available. But he has said this time and time again that he will not be hesitant to use military force if diplomacy fails. In the end, Obama is a die-hard American. And by that right, American Interest is Primacy.
Yours,
