THE QUESTION
Out of Iraq
Some political leaders say we need to get out of Iraq now. Others say we are obligated to stay and try to restore civil order and authority. What's the moral position? Is there one?

FROM THE PANEL
Dreams of Heaven and Hell
The link between our unconscious and our visions of heaven and hell is one of the most fascinating and troubling areas to explore in the realm of faith.

First, Drop the Moral Pretensions
The Iraq War has not been, and is not now, a moral venture. Let's be done with moral pretension.

It Would Be Unjust to Leave Now
For America now to “tire” of its commitment and abandon people who have relied on us would be grossly immoral.

Persistence in Error is Reckless
Of course the Iraqi people want us out. Not only because we’ve unjustly invaded their sovereign country, but because they don’t trust us.

Arrogance Got us There, Keeps us There
The real message of Iraq is that we are arrogant and think we know it all.

Iraq. What Next?
I find it hard to see the morality in either choice.

Moral and Political Morass
Really, we are between a rock and a hard place. Stay and people die, leave and people die. Truly, we have created a mess!

What Do We Owe the Iraqi People?
The U.S. has a moral responsibility to the Iraqi people, I do not think that this obligation can be effectively fulfilled by the U.S. military.

No Morality in Continuing an Immoral War
We can serve no moral purpose by continuing an immoral aftermath to a deceitfully conceived, ineptly conducted, failed and immoral war.

Moral Imperative as a Postscript
We do have a moral imperative to stay in Iraq until we secure peace.

Just Ways to Repair an Unjust War
The first act should be confession – confession that as a nation, we were wrong to do this.

The first step out of Iraq is to confess that it was a huge mistake.

Immoral Start Begets Immoral Mess
The United States would be morally obligated to finance an international peacekeeping force as well as to pay reparations to the people of Iraq.
