Why US dont want to leave Irag?

I have read the answers above. \n\nDoes this mean that the French were right a couple of years ago when they declined to invade Iraq as they believed that the situation would deteriorate into what the US is now facing there today? \n\nDoes this mean that staying on in Iraq will breed more fanatics like Bin Laden (one of the reasons he struck against the US was because he believed that US troops should not be based in Saudi Arabia)? In 10 years, will we see an increase in the number of Iraqi terrorists on a global scale?

At this point, just leaving Iraq right now with the situation it's in is a recipe for disaster. If you think it's bad now, just imagine what it'll be like without us. On the other hand, it's more of a catch-22 than anything. If we keep staying in Iraq, insurgents will keep killing soldiers. If we leave, however, everything we've done will be for nothing. The closest thing we can do that would be considered winning in my opinion is to have a functioning government, an army that can hold it's own, and basically get Iraq back on it's feet. After that, then we should leave. If there is *no* way we can win the war without anything like divine intervention, then we might as well leave.

sometimes i just don't know what to say. these people on here that just think we should up and leave, and honestly don't care as to why we're over there. my husband has been over there for 9 months, and he has another 3 to go, and everyday i am so proud because he puts his life on the line, and for a good reason. we are trying to build iraq up. we are not at a "war" with iraq, we are at a war with terrorists. if we weren't there then so many iraqi soldiers my husband has talked to would still be forced in saddam's army. if we left now we would be betraying those iraqi soldiers who need our help. we would be putting a bullet in their heads because the terrorists would seek them out first and they would all be dead. the iraqi army is not strong enough yet. they are slowly getting there, but they still need us. the country still needs us. some say we should not have even gone, well those people were blind because they needed a new government. this isn't just some little country that we decided "hey let's butt into these people's buisness" this was a country run by a terrorist who needed to be stopped. someone who was torturing his own people. I am the wife of an american soldier and I am proud that my husband along with many others are laying their life on the line for the united states.

Look to the retirement states.  Arizona, Florida, Virginia, etc.  These folks are afraid of outliving their income hence annuities prevent this from happening, and provide more options for retired persons.  These folks also want to leave more money for the heirs as well and Annuities provide guar. growth with loss of principle.

To everyone who answered yes ,or indicated they would like to leave,or if there was a better place they would, please go now.Don't let the door hit you in the butt.\nThe United States of America is the greatest nation the civilized world has ever known.\nMy guess is most of the negative mouthy individuals popping off,have never lived in another country or seen how the rest of the world has it, or you would be on your knees everyday thanking whatever God you pray to ,for the privilege of living in the USA.

Hey "dufus", you are evidently looking for a grand opening and with your I.Q. you won't be able to get...so if you are un-employed you might try to go to France and chew on some wieners while you're making up your poems about our leaders...if you don't like it over here, why don't you pack up your pet poodle and get out of America. There will be wars until God comes back and I wish it were today !!  Are you ready to go ???

Record Number of Americans are leaving the USA , Tired of the way we live and the never ending crimes our government  is responsible world wide.\nI read a few days ago that China is a new hot spot for many young Americans ,According to the reports cost of living is very low ,Job opportunity and income very high for English speaking people with skills.

That is certainly a decision that you and your family need to do some serious thinking about.  My husband, and I were also in the military, so I know how hard it can be when you are deployed.\n\nDo you know what you will do when you get out?\nWill you have to serve another tour over in Iraq?  How long will it be?\nWould you like to make a career out of the military?\nThere is a lot more information that I would need to know, and how you feel about them, before I feel like I could give any amount of decent advice on it.\n\nThank you for your service to our country!

it would become and international incident and more then likely the country would not like all the heat they get from not forcing you to return but it also depends on what country because there are some that we do not have extradition with and you would be charged with the crime of running away so them might just let you stay, 99% of countries will send you home when they find out about it

because the country isn't stable.  When the Iraqi government and military are able to sufficiently rule and control the country, then the US military will leave.

stop corporate America from stealing everybodys life savings at retirement so we have something to look forward too. cost of living goes up, wages stay the same, that can't be good. faith cannot do it all. in the end, it's just money. and you can't take it with you...

I, too, am a sensitive person and an American.  I understand what you are saying.  There are some people in this country who see only the mistakes of our own natioin but not the ATROCITIES of the terrorists.  I can not comprehend how their minds work.  If it is THAT bad here, why don't they move to a country that better suits their beliefs?  I mean this sincerely.  I'm fairly certain that someone will bash me for this last statement.  I am not saying to "go to hell."  I am sincerely asking a simple question.  I choose to stay in my homeland because I love my country. That doesn't mean I agree with everything . That would be unusual to agree with EVERYTHING.  I'm saying that if it is THAT awful for some people, why not choose to be happy and go where you will find peace of mind and contentment?  Here's the deal as I see it....these people take for granted all the freedoms that they have in this country. They take for granted all of the opportunities that are available to them.  They are looking for Eutopia, I can only imagine.  Well brothers and sisters, "this is the last best place on earth" and I for one ain't going nowhere!!!!

A better question is WHY are we in Iraq? 65% of Iraqis don't want us there. Plus a MAJORITY of Americans don't want us there either. I thought in a Democracy, the gov't obeyed the will of the people, but I guess Bush pretty much goes his own way. Way to go, Mr Democracy. Why don't you just get out of office and go back to school and learn the true meaning of A gov't for the people and BY the people?

I am afraid you will not find good data on this. In many countries you are forced to be islamic. If you don't convert you will be killed. Hear of Dar fur? This is not across the board but it is huge. Many people are disowned by their families if they leave. Here is a link to one guy I know left Isam.
