I don't think it would be all that moral to just leave Iraq and let it just fall apart. I mean, we created this problem by creating a power vacuum. Whether doing so was just or unjust, wise or unwise, is really rather irrelevant at this point.

What seems like it would fix the problem would be to have one strongman-type assert control over the country and rule it by cracking down hard on anyone who dissents. We miss you, Saddam! Ironic, isn't it, that what seems like it might actually work there is what we forcibly eliminated. I'm not saying Saddam was a great guy; he was a vicious and greedy bastard. But there weren't gazillions of suicide bombers exploding trucks on a daily basis when he was in charge. Hard to believe, but I really do think things were significantly better when Saddam was running the show.
