Iraq debate / forum

Sorry, everybody I’m not feeling very creative today, so the question is a little dull. Opinion: What questions should we have the moderator / referee ask at the Iraq “debate / forum” day on the 24th?

Since we already know how they feel about the Iraq war, if it is okay to call it a war, I think the questions should get at WHY that persons feels the way they do about the situation on the ground in Iraq. It would also be interesting to hear what they think are supportive “reasons” for their feelings. Therefore I would submit the question / topic to speak upon:

Using detailed reasons, please explain why you are for or against this current dilemma in Iraq.

I also would find it interesting to hear each argument as to what to do next in Iraq, since to any sane person it is undeniable that there are issues that need to still be solved in Iraq, and the surrounding regions. Based on this and other thoughts my question list would look like the following, with the addition of the one question above:

In what way do you think the administration should proceed in maintaining foreign relations in the region?

Do you think that talks with Syria and Iran should take place? What “doors” might these talks open? What benefits would each side receive if this was done? Would they be merely intrinsic?

Do think Congress will pass a war funding bill that will not be vetoed, for setting a timetable, benchmarks, or whatever you want to call them? If so, when? And how much variance will it have from what the President has requested?

What message do you feel that the newly elected Iraqi Congress is sending to, A) their own people B) the U.S. government C) the U.S. people and D) the world, by even considering a summer break?

Name two or three things that you feel would define a mission complete status in Iraq.

What will, if any, the significance of the Iraq conflict have in keeping major act of terrorism away from the United States be?
