I'm fairly firmly of the belief that at least making an attempt to fix Iraq up into somewhat reasonable shape is better than leaving now and letting the civil war commence.
Even if you refuse to belive it, we aren't there to "fix" Iraq. We just can't afford to lose control. Do you really think that the US is ever going to leave that place? It's all about natural resources, it's the 4th largest oil producer in the world. W've already been in Afganistan militarily for over 20 years because they want to build a pipeline to transport natural gasses.

So all that BS about helping Iraq all come together you can just ignore. US just can't get out of anyone's business.
