The war and occupation of Iraq has been a disaster: for the Iraqi people, for the US people, and for the hope of peace in the Middle East. As the price tag for the war passes the $200 billion mark, and the Iraqi and US death tolls rise, at least 53% of people in the US confirm that they believe the war in Iraq is going badly, according to a recent Gallup poll. Even as opposition grows, the message from the White House is “stay the course.” But accord- ing to Congressman John Murtha, a conservative Democrat who originally supported the war, “the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq is impeding progress ... we need to turn Iraq over to the Iraqis.”
