Protesters’ exit strategy is suicide for Iraqis

Cindy Sheehan is entitled to her grief and her chosen expressions of it, including a 26-day vigil near President Bush’s ranch last month and the civil disobedience that got her arrested in front of the White House Monday. And there was something reassuring about seeing 100,000 citizens of our complacent nation care enough to gather Saturday in the nation’s capital to protest the war. But to their shouts of “Stop the war now!” I wanted to say: You’re kidding, right? None of the good arguments to be made that we shouldn’t have invaded Iraq matter a whit now that we’re there. Protesters or not, we have a job to finish.
