And if ("if" being the operative word) Iraq establishes a long-lasting democracy, then I'd say that's another good reason for still having our troops there. Regardless of whether you believe the rhetoric or not, Iraq and much of the Middle East is a breeding ground for terrorists and Islamic radicals. If we run from something they started (not Iraq, but Islamic radical fundamentalists), we'd look like cowards in the eyes of the world.
