Surge! redux

Never mind what I said before about the surge; it's a worthless effort. Bring the troops home asap, de-fund the war so the president will be forced to bring them home and let the Iraqis, Iranians, Saudis and whomever fend for themselves. No good will come from continuing this exercise in futility for anyone. If tyranny re-emerges/continues to reign in the region, so be it, and we can deal with it should an actual threat emerge. This could be spurred in part by the continued military development in China, but generally speaking, I decided yesterday, though I am not entirely sure wherefore, that enough is enough.
