Well, seeing as what a "great" job has been done in Iraq, who could blame the locals rallying against the occupiers?

Many of the current problems are the result of the US' use of inappropriate amounts of force in order to protect its own troops and as a result alienate the Iraqis. The US needs to take a step back and let the British teach them how to do peacekeeping properly, they also need to get over Vietnam, Iraq is a totally different situation. It isn't even a real war zone.
Less Fighting more peacekeeping and things would calm down.
If the coalition pulled out it would be war, Iran and Isreal would both probably step in and the whole thing would blow up.

The British have had their own cases of questionable tactics in Iraq too. There are no innocent.
