The sunk cost

I don't like the war in Iraq. A friend of mine sent me a link about how the presidential candidate Ron Paul sees about the war. I agree with his idea of not going to war unless being attacked. But no matter how wrong the U.S. got into the war in the first place, it does not justify a pullout right now.

I think most of the war critics forget what they had learned in Economics 101. Whatever happened in the past is sunk cost. It should not play any role in your plan for the future. You can whip George W. Bush anyway you want, but withdrawing troops from Iraq now is not the right decision for the U.S. It will simply tells the world that the extremists have defeated the U.S. Does anyone out there want an ending like that?
