Who's That? part 2

When it comes to Iraq, Democratic candidate Bill Richardson is just like any other democrat. However, while the other Democratic candidates want to withdraw the combative troops from Iraq, Richardson wants to withdraw all troops from Iraq.
"I'd pull out our troops, every one of them, even residual forces," the New Mexico governor told the Review-Journal. "Because our troops have become targets. They've become the excuse for propaganda against us, and we are now viewed as occupiers."

Richardson believes that the solution to Iraq is a political solution, no a military solution. According to Richardson, the troops in Iraq are currently being used as pawns for the election. Whoever has the best solution regarding the troops is going to be favored more and he believes that it isn't right. He believes that there should be troops within the military bases, but not out wandering the streets. He also wants divide Iraq into semi-autonomous regions for the Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites. His views on Iraq are somewhat feasible, but segregating relgious groups could feel somewhat taboo to some Americans. However, people don't realize that these ethnic groups have been fighting forever, and that these people just can't get along with one another.
