Yeah, Genocide Is Bad...But You Know It Could Be Worse...

Could someone parse this for me...

It is time for the United States to leave Iraq, without any more delay than the Pentagon needs to organize an orderly exit.

… Iraq, and the region around it, could be even bloodier and more chaotic after Americans leave. There could be reprisals against those who worked with American forces, further ethnic cleansing, even genocide. Potentially destabilizing refugee flows could hit Jordan and Syria. Iran and Turkey could be tempted to make power grabs. Perhaps most important, the invasion has created a new stronghold from which terrorist activity could proliferate.

Now read the next paragraph...

The administration, the Democratic-controlled Congress, the United Nations and America’s allies must try to mitigate those outcomes — and they may fail. But Americans must be equally honest about the fact that keeping troops in Iraq will only make things worse.

Now read the previous paragraph again.

Now do this over and over and over again.
