I'm against the US' decision to start this war 100%. However, I think they're stuck now and cut and run is the worst thing they can do for the following reasons:

1. Approximately 600,000 Iraqi's and 3,700 US troops will all have died for nothing. I don't know how many other troops have been killed.

2. While Iraq was not a sponsor of AlQaeda, AlQaeda is using Iraq as a battleground now (along with many other terrorist groups, gangs, and those wanting to instal dictatorships). If the US leaves it will send a message through the whold world that terrorists can defeat the United States. This will help recruitment efforts, and hugely increase enemy moral.

3. Hundreds of billions of dollars will have been spent for nothing.

4. There are many religious sects in Iraq, and many whom think the other should be whiped from the face of the Earth. If the US leaves it will not stop attacks on civilians, it will leave every person with the "wrong" faith or culture open to genocide. As bad as the civilian casualties are now, just wait till the country is left to the mercy of fanatics who want to slaughter whole groups of human beings.

5. Iraq will undoubtedly be overtaken by one fanatical group or another. This means a nation and a people once again under a brutal dictatorship, or a theocratic brutal dictatorship like the Taliban. Then, Iraq will become a state sponsor of terrorism.

6. It's very possible that an undefended Iraq could be taken over by Iran. That's just what we need, an Iran double the size with double the resources.
