Advocating immediate withdrawal of the US troops from Iraq is utterly
foolish and shortsighted.  The US should not have invaded Iraq in the
first place, but once they did, they have to deal with the consequences
of that action.  While acknowledging it may not be popular with the
public, it is ate least an honest assessment of the reality.  Heckling
that strikes me as utterly naïve and childish - like a little brat
screaming and stomping his feet because he wants it now.
