Top Ten Reasons To get Out of Iraq

list
~You are aware that depending upon who's elected President, Americans are stuck with Iraq for a few more years at the very least and a few generations if the neo-cons get their way?
What does time do to this list?
There are people who believe the Bush administration wants to bankrupt the federal government. Chomsky's 'train wreck'. It's their way of making government 'smaller'. Compelled by unimaginable budget contraints Congress would be forced to wipe out all federally funded social entitlement programs leaving most Americans even more dependent upon the predations and whims of corporations and established churches. The vast majority of Americans would start paying the full price for services and programs that the federal government could no longer subsidize (e.g. medical research and care, education, the environment, telecommunications, highways, police and emergency services, etc.).
Would a society in which the federal government has no interest in the lives of it's citizens, except for military defense and the taking of taxes, be bad for business or organized religion? Who would lobby or campaign against it? Can a President Kerry do anything to stop this corporate coup? Would he want to?
