Pull out, but not alone, the US and everyone else too. Leave whoever “we” want in charge with the weapons needed to stay in charge and get out. Our physical presence is just ticking everyone there off. We can easily play a behind the scenes influence from back home, wherever back home is.

I still like the idea of spreading freedom and all that but we need to quickly establish a government there and make them take over the reigns of physically running the place while “we” continue influencing a stable society. To completely cut our ties and leave would be wrong but it is time to get out, dub Iraq “free” and leave. If it doesn’t work out for them we can always go back in 10 years.
