The Administration and Congress must stay the course and finish the job in Iraq. As James Jay Carafano and James Phillips write, "Abandoning the cause of freedom and democracy in Iraq would hurt Iraqis and Americans for decades to come."

"Staying the course will not guarantee the success of a free Iraq, but abandoning the U.S. military effort will almost certainly guarantee failure," they write.
