The irony of war

Something which has come to my attention is some more than ironic phrases associated with war that i keep hearing, Friendly Fire and Civil War being a some of the more ironic ones.

Tell you whats really ironic invading a nation to bring them freedom. The conflict in Afghanistan has reached the point where it no longer the retaliation to a terrorist attack. In that whilst it would be beneficial to pull the troops for the good of our economy. We have reached the stage where this has become impossible because the public need a justification for money spend and lives lost. However whilst the conflict continues the two things which are stopping a pull out of troops is increasing the need for a justification.

It is it ever possible to leave or should we quit while we're... behind? To be honest we should journey on and seek victory in stabilising the government and armed forces of nation. However it should be duly noted that pulling out to soon, when the country seems to be at peace with it's self could just lead to civil war.
