It is difficult to believe that trying to return a two-bit country like Iraq to some sort of normalcy would so deplete this nation's military and civilian security capabilities that it would have to rely on private gun slingers in a war zone. How can that be and how in the world did we get in this situation?

The Iraqi government demands that Blackwater mercenaries leave their country, and those responsible for the September 16th massacre remain to face criminal prosecution. Does anyone believe that our government will respect the legitimacy of the Iraqi government and honor their demands?
