War in Iraq, What can be done?

I believe that freedom is a good cause to fight for, the colonists fought for it and it gained our independence from England. Yet we are in a new kind of war for independence, yet the problem is that us Americans, who are supposed to be leading the cause for liberty do not have the heart to see that war is and always will be an option, it shouldn't be the first option, but still an option nonetheless.

What I believe would be much better then a time table, because a well publicized time table is like saying We'll be gone, so you can reek havec like before. Yet we need a clear mission, like clearing this province of terrorists, or disabling Al-queida in Iraq, somthing that we can say that once this is done then we can leave. That is what I believe the American people, myself included, want. Not a time table were ever thing our soldiers have died for will have been in vain, but in a mission that is all jointed to a goal, and once that goal is complete, we can say we did bring about change for the Iraqi people, and that we did make a difference in the middle east.
