Should we continue the war or should we pull out

Afghanistan --- The invasion was probably a good idea. At the very least, it was justified given the Taliban's complicity with al-Qaeda. Withdrawing would be devastating given that Taliban forces have been gaining ground, especially in the north.
Iraq --- The invasion was not only a bad idea, it was also criminal and immoral. Withdrawal is necessary for a variety of reasons. Not only is the continual occupation making the US less safe (providing fuel for future terrorists as well as placing our soldiers in danger), the current Iraqi government WANTS us to leave. If we truly respect democracy and self-determination, we have to respect PM al-Maliki's withdrawal plan. Indeed, the Bush administration has had to agree to as much or risk not having a Status of Force Agreement, which would leave our soldiers in a legal limbo.
