Don't these women know that if the US withdrew completely, they will all be left at the mercy of the insurgents??? They will slaughter anyone they don't like. One woman mentioned for all American mothers to tell their kids to withdraw from Iraq, well why don't the insurgents' mothers tell their kids to stop the killing and the bombing???
