What's Wrong With " Cut and Run " ?

To " cut and run" in todays political debate has a negative connotation. But there is nothing inherently wrong with changing directions in any enterprise. Whether it be war , business or personal affairs. If war was a normal state instead of an aberration then to " cut and run" would be a nihilistic response to an imperative for living and survival. But war is not a lifestyle for the most of us. Especially wars of choice like Iraq and possibly Iran. Only the loathesome like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush, Rice and AIPAC supporters see war as normal and peace as an aberration.
