No one can control the violence in Iraq now; that is what a lot of intelligent people have been warning Bush about since before the invasion.\nOur country is 200 years old. Iraq is 5000 years old. If any country invaded the US, don't you think we'd do WHATEVER it took to get them out??\nBush is going to come back to Washington without a plan, and then he'll finally realize he's not really important anymore. Just a lame duck who lost control of America, and he'll spend the rest of his presidency in the shadows, a once arrogant warhawk now meek and subdued by the magnitude of his ineptitude.

In Iraq, that's their problem. I live in America.

Iraq...if you are an American.  Remember, some of their radical groups have abducted and beheaded some of our citizens.

It all comes down to oil,if you want a bottom line.\nMost of the world's oil comes from the Middle East,which\nhas placed the West at a disadvantage for decades.\nAn American-supported Iraqi government would do much to shift the balance of power in the region in theory.\nIn practice maybe it'll turn out the U.S. should just have kept it's soldiers out of that part of the world,if this whole thing backfires.

A better question would be why we're in Iraq in the first place.\n\nI still don't know.

They are towards leaving Iraq.  They really don't have a plan right now.  They wanted to use scare tactics against Americans, so they get the vote.  As of now, I haven't heard any plans yet.

Iraq is pretty big.  I'm pretty sure they have more than just 5 cities.

Iraq is slowly but surely turning into a self governing democracy that will in the near future be capable of defending itself and participating and working with nations worldwide economically and as an ally in the war against terror. the Iraqi people will be free to pursue the freedoms that we here in America have long taken for granted.Iraq does indeed have a bright future ahead and because they do our future here is America is brighter as well.~

Zero.\n\nThe democratically elected Iraqi government has requested that the U.S. stay to finish its job of making them strong enough to govern and defend their fledgling Republic.\n\nWe are there at the Iraqi's request.

Maybe it has to do something with the fact that Iraq is located in one of the most strategically valuable areas in the world, and the fact that it also happens to be one of the most unstable areas of the world. Just like after WWII we build bases in Germany, to be close to Russia and central to Europe.  \n\nNow we are central to all of Africa, Asia, Middle East and Europe.  Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and so on are all a short flight.  Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
