The Immorality of Leaving Iraq and Afghanistan
By Dennis Prager

On every level and from every perspective - from pure national interest to the purely moral - the decision by the Obama administration and the Democratic Party to withdraw American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan is indefensible.

Let's begin with Iraq.

Here is how the front-page article in yesterday's edition of USA Today began:

"When the last U.S. Combat troops departed Iraq in December 2011, they left behind a defeated al-Qaida and an Iraq where traditional rivals Sunni and Shiite Muslims were sharing power in the world's only Arab democracy.

"Two years later, al-Qaida has seized major cities where hundreds of U.S. Troops died while fighting alongside their Iraqi brethren. The population once freed by the U.S.-Iraqi alliance has now watched those same jihadist insurgents return to command the streets and impose their will." Ref. Source 7
