No US Empire in the Middle East!

Sullivan nails it for me. Money quote:
McCain would love to see US troops stationed peacefully in Iraq for the foreseeable future. To him it does not matter when they come home. What matters is that the casualty rate get low enough to persuade Americans they shouldn't care about another expansion of American empire. In fact, the entire debate about bringing them home is puzzling and frustrating to McCain. After all, why should we bring them home when being there for ever is the point?

Exactly. Here's where the danger lies for me on foreign policy matters.
