We got pulled into it for all the wrong reasons (ie. non-existant weapons of mass destruction) and continued to stay in it because as Americans we have this insane notion that it's our job "to fix" everyone else. When other countries need money, they come to us (probably why our deficit is in the billions).
I think we need to pull out. (Although I completely understand that a complete pull out of US forces isn't something that can be done, I just think we should be doing a gradual withdrawal, not talking about putting more troops over there)
According to the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for January 2006, there were approximately 6,148,125 people unemployed in the US, (6,307,925 if you count Puerto Rico).
That's really high. We need to stop worrying about other countries and their lack of diplomacy issues and star worrying about ourselves.
(Here's the link to the website for the stats)
