It seems that the endless voilence in Iraq, does not allow Foreign forces to leave the country. For how long ?

Ask when are we going to get out of Iraq.

They have caused enough problems over there. If they want to continue getting killed and continue killing then they should stay. If they really are seeking democracy for Iraq (which is none of their business in the first place) then they should leave now and let the Iraqis govern themselves and set up a new constitution and start living a normal sovereign life like any country !

No, right now, they are having trouble in Iraq, because they can't tell their enemies from their allies.  No technology can do that.

The US won't leave Iraq anytime soon. I see them there 50 years from now.

The few Iraqi people that i have meet. \nHave been ordinary people who just want their country to have peace. \nthey want the chance to rebuild their country, to live in freedom and security, \nSome thing which they have not had the chance to do since Saddam. \nThe few i have meet told me they don't mind the western soldiers being there, until the time is right for the Iraqi people to take over. \nif the insurgence will leave them to get on with it.

Close to the entire army and Marine Corp is involved in the yearly cycling of troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm not even too sure where they dig up the extra troops they did manage to find after I left the Army a couple of years ago except by screwing troops out of much need rest from duty in Iraq. In other words, the situation can't be maintained indefinitely. \n\nEven if we did have our military up to a point where it could continue indefinite combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, we still don't have the money to do what we're doing for an extended period, especially with the lack of accountability for the funds that have been given to Iraq.

it will never end. as long as there is Iraqis all over the place, then that war wont be over. They not allow any foreigners rule over them... just put yourself on their shoes, would you allow bin ladden rule over america? :P

you are already doing that.before you invaded iraq,all were living in peace and harmony.who went against the law (how ever the laws were strict)was punished.but after march 2003,you made a brother kill his brother in a jungle where law naver exist under your supervission.why was the army and security forces desolved and all their assets looted.how can you build such forces in short time,whereas the old ones took 82 years to build.this is the results.mellitias,gangs,undiciplined forces.total curse.what else you want.

Not for years.  The governments of too many surrounding countries have far too much to loose if Iraq becomes a stable democratic state so they will continue to fund and encourage the "insurgents".  However, the violence should lessen as the new government gets organized and the USA starts pulling out.

Go to Iraq. Their country is stuffed up and they need your help.

Yes. An exit strategy. It will go something like this. We give Iraq a time-line to get their government "in gear" and running, telling them it's their responsibility to get the violence under control. A year passes, nothing changes. Now the onus is on them instead of us. We give them a few more months and tell them if no changes, we start withdrawing our troops. Nothing changes, still uncontrolled violence everywhere. Around April of 08 we start pulling our troops out, and then both parties can place the blame on Iraq for not gaining control of their own country, dismissing any part they had in starting the cause of the violence.

That depends on the Iraqi government and the Iraqi people. They both need to stand up for their country and make it secure. Their inability to stop the violence is the only thing keeping our troops there. If I were an Iraqi citizen, who voted for a democratic government, I would be pissed if my neighbors were trying to screw it up by blowing up their fellow countrymen. Living in fear from thugs like that can only last so long. \n\nEither they stand up and make it stop, or I think our troops should stop playing the role of the "nice guy", and actually start fighting back no holds barred.

No.  we can't just pull out of Iraq before its own government is stable.  Then it would be another Vietnam.  If we just pick up and leave, the country will turn into a police state, much like Somalia did during the Clinton administration.

Iraq wants the US and everyone else to leave.  They feel nothing will be resolved with all the "occupiers" around.\n\nIn terms of money...well, Bush's contracting companies didn't do too much and they left and took the money with them.

This is surely the actions of the Insane. As if 20,000 more troops are going to make the difference?\n\nA pal of mine in the forces tell me they are only allowed out of Barracks except in the day when patrolling and not at night when the insurgents then do their nasty work. Our troops clear up in the day and then the Iraqis replace at night whatever has been removed. This is a crazy situation which must end now.

leave iraqi people live in their own country
