We can't, the oil wouldn't be secure anymore.  Iran, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia would have a free for all.  We created a mess that we won't stabilize for a VERY long time.  For all his evil, Saddam did manage to keep a lid on one of the biggest pressure cookers in the world.  Of course, mission accomplished for us, we showed him we could do a better job.\n\nAlienorgy, my heart is with you man.  I know they pump you up on a philosophy that your life depends on you believing.  Looking forward to seeing your story when you're done.  I was lucky I was there in the beginning when it was easy.

Personally I don't care about Saddam.. if anything I'm aggervated by it.. because we waged war over there caught their leader.. and yet we still have never caught Bin Laden or do we have any idea where he is....

The truth is it is the United States of America who is the real terrorist in Iraq.  We will end up like Vietnam. On the losing end.

I agree.  Now that he's dead, their will also be a power struggle inside Iraq's branch of al-Qaeda.  I'm glad he's dead, but it can only get worse.

I can't believe the number of people who seemingly want to take the side of Saddam.  As far as I am concerned, the man refused to follow the rules, he wanted to pretend he had them, so I think we should have acted as if he did.  I would rather be safe than sorry.  I have seen too many reports that show the people are greatful for our intervention.  I think there is still a possibility that there are weapons hidden somewhere.

It somehow seems Saddam was doing a good job. Things are really messed up now after his departure and all attempts to fix things over there has failed so far.

Oh Well, this is a tough one. \n\nAlthough I would like to believe that the current Iraqi situation could sustain itself, I must be realistic in my assesment of the situation. I believe that Iraq will fall apart due to the collapse and absence of a powerful cental government. Saddam was tough, but he held the country together. I think we're gonna end up having to deal with THREE NEW Iraqi states (Northern Kurds, Central Sunnis and Southern Shiites) and I just don't like the sound of that, why deal with three when we there was only one?\n\nBesides, the Shiites in the South will most likely control the larger sum of Iraq's Oil cause that's where it's concentrated. \n\nI still believe, contrary to popular belief, that Saddam could have been dealt with differently, either through micro surgery, or through hard-core diplomacy until he crumbled on his own, this all out invasion is just costing us ridiculous ammounts of money and rubbing our global reputation in the dirt. \n\nThe world is changing, we're loosing favour with hundreds of millions of people, and I just don't want that for my country, a country that I love.

Bush and his cronies should come to the final decision that it is best to get out of Iraq. Each day we remain there only makes the situation worse. Unfortunately Bush does not seem to realize this. I'm not saying to bring them all home at once. What I am saying is to bring them home gradually, maybe even 500 at a time. We're not wanted there. We already have enough enemies. Bush should forget about Iraq's oil because the entire Middle East now knows that oil was our primary reason for invading Iraq. They only see themselves as next. GET OUT BUSH.

Yeah, that's how you're "liberating" Iraq. I also found it funny when they aired that clip of troops toppling that statue of Saddam. Only fifty people in all of Bagdhad showed up. Fifty people in a city-sized population. Makes you think of the propoganda bullcrap that's being spewed out.

You should talk to some people in Iraq before making guesses about what to do. Are you aware that most hated and feared Saddam, and hate Al-Qaida now. How about we bomb the radical clerics that are causing all the fighting, bomb Syria, and Iran that are supporting it, blow away groups like Hezbollah that are training the insurgents? Lets get the right ones and piss on what France and Germany and Russia think!

Our criminal leaders did not invade Iraq to "help" anyone but themselves.  They staged 9/11 to scare us into supporting whatever they decided to do.  Those of you who do not understand this, WAKE UP.

i think he will try to stay in.he's a control freak. he can also declare war and he will be in.. thats what i look to happen.

I have to agree, we made the situation infinitely worse by invading and occupying. To leave now would be the wrong thing to do, not because the terrorists win, but because it's our mess now. And anyone that thinks the terrorists win, PLEASE, get a life....

Iraq was not like it is now when Saddam was in power. Saddam was a threat to his own people, and those around him, period. World threat? Threat to America? Not by any thinking person's stretch of the imagination. We had to retaliate for 9/11 and a group of brilliant people decided Iraq was the path of least resistance after we topple their tyrant to install a democracy. Wishful thinking at its best, we are starting to see the worst. Things have degraded to their tribal levels split along religious sects. We invaded without understanding the culture and history of the region. Hatred and war are long time bed-partners in the middle-east. Just to keep the excitement growing we can now add extremely twisted, hate filled, religious fundamentalist zealots adding to the killing in the name of Allah.  Baghdad is eerily starting to look like Saigon. We won't need a strategy to get out, we'll need emergency evacuation.

I agree - we can't win in Iraq without addressing Iran and Syria, who are supplying the terrorists.\n\nSadly, I doubt America's politicians or public have the will to do it.
