In 2007, Halberstam could have issued a prediction in which he warned of what would happen if America withdrew from Iraq . "Iraqi's who committed themselves fully to the United States will suffer the most under a tterrorist -AlQuada government, while we lucky few with blue passports retire unharmed; it means a drab, lifeless, and controlled society for a people who deserve better," he wrote. "Withdrawal also means that the United States's prestige will be lowered throughout the world, and it means that the pressure of terrorism on the rest of the middle east will intensify. Lastly, withdrawal means that throughout the world the enemies of the West will be encouraged to try insurgencies like the one in Iraq."
