Maybe Madison should also have a referendum that says "Should we impeach Bush? Yes or No" or "Should the US give each of us $5? Yes or No" or "Should Madison be the new capital of the country? Yes or No."

If Madison passes this referendum, I personally nominate you to deliver the news to our troops overseas. I'm sure they'll thank you for your "support."

Oh, and you think that this referendum will send a message to Congress? Would more than three representatives will vote for it this time...

Maybe you should start taking a message from Congress, the one that says Cut and Run is the worst option.

Bring the troops home from Germany, Japan and Korea!

The Nazis were killing US troops in Germany for years after the surrender, but we didn't give up and they have a democratically elected government now. We also did not insist that Germany form a new government as fast as we seem to demand in Iraq, strange since Germany actually had some tradition of elections.

A vote of "yes" is the vote of a traitor and an enemy of freedom. A vote of "yes" means you want to abondon the Iraqi people and hand a victory to terrorists. Nobody wants the troops there, but the Bush Administration realizes that the only way to bring democracy to that part of the world is to fight tryanny and terrorism.

There were times during the Second World War when there appeared to be no end, and the Nazi's victory seemed assured. But luckily we had a president with the courage to make the right decision.

Just because things look bad now does not mean we should give up. There is no other choice. Will the world be better off by letting Iraq fall apart in a civil war, or will it be better off if we continue to fight the terrorists there?

How do you expect to end terrorism (i.e. fundamentalist Islam)? You hippies think smoking pot and listening to punk music is going to change the world? Why are people protesting Bush, but nobody is protesting terror? It's because protesting doesn't solve problems. Bush realizes that you have to fight fire with fire.

How do you traitors (hippies, power hungry democrats, liberals) propose to solve the problem? Seriously, I have never heard any better idea. Let's say you were in charge, what would you do? Let Sadam stay in power? Let Iran build nuclear weapons? Let the Taliban rule Afghanistan? You hippies don't live in the real world. You are traitors to this country.

"smoking pot and listening to punk music"

There will be none of that once sharia is the law of the land!

You should make sure you know the definition of words you are using in your article.

A civilian is someone who is not a member of the military or police. Therefore there haven't been 33,773 to 37,895 civilian deaths. There have been that many Iraqis killed, but many of those deaths you are counting are members of the army that were killed.

Yeah, let's pull out right now so the Arab World's vision of us as a "paper tiger" will be confirmed yet again.

The terrorists know that as long as they have people like Liz here in America espousing the "it's a complete disaster, we must cut and run" scenario, they have a chance.

"How do you traitors (hippies, power hungry democrats, liberals) propose to solve the problem?"

Clueless,

Umm Bush created this problem his damn self. You act like America wanted this war. Afghanistan we wanted, Iraq...not so much.

The enemies of the USA are absolutely comforted by the idea that they just have to outlast Bush. The war in Iraq can only be lost in the streets of Madison, not in the streets of Bagdad.

They're waiting for the 'The Last Helicopter'.

Hassan Abbasi has a dream--a helicopter doing an arabesque in cloudy skies to avoid being shot at from the ground. On board are the last of the "fleeing Americans," forced out of the Dar al-Islam (The Abode of Islam) by "the Army of Muhammad."
