I don't think there's any question that the United States is going to have to get out of Iraq. The only questions are: How long will it take? How many more people will die? And how will it be done?

the United States must seize this moment and end the occupation of Iraq.

The United States prefers that Iraq meet its obligations voluntarily, yet we are prepared for the alternative.

I am running for president of the United States to end the United States occupation of Iraq, and put an end to the lies that brought us into Iraq, ... To help make this country whole again in the world community, and to challenge those lies, which if left unchallenged, will cause this administration to lead this country towards another war.

Iraq does not pose an imminent threat to the United States of any of its neighboring nations.

The Constitution. . . illustrates the complexity of the American system: that it serves the interests of a wealthy elite, but also does enough for small property owners, for middle-income mechanics and farmers, to build a broad base of support. The slightly prosperous people who make up this base of support are buffers against the blacks, the Indians, the very poor whites. They enable the elite to keep control with a minimum of coercion, a maximum of law--all made palatable by the fanfare of patriotism and unity.
