Gee, let's see:  Germany, France, England, Italy, all the UN.  Enough, or should I go on.  It is funny, a martinet calling a government "puppet."  Get your head out of your *ss and realize that it is NOT the US who is the problem in IRAQ, it is the TERRORISTS.

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.

I think the end of 2008 is when the U.S. military should start leaving.  The Iraqi military will be in control of 75% of Iraq at the end of the summer and probably 90 something percent at the end up 2008.  They could finish it from there.

If the new iraqi government cancelled all previous contracts with foreigners made by the interim government. then you'd really see a blood bath America won't leave till they've wrung the every last dollar out of that unfortunate country The british and australians should be ashamed to be sullied by this conflict

HELL NO!  America is tending to interfere in other countrys matters far too much. They should realise by now that the second world war ended in 1945 with the unification of italy. The two super powers were usa and Russia. Russia got over it that times change but its just that usa is still stuck on the whole "super power of the world" thing. What happens in iraq and the middle east is their concern and they will sort it out their way usa has no right to interfere. usa has oil reserves that it can use but it wants to use the oil in the middle east that belongs to them but then kinda mysteriously got under iraq. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

International Diplomacy....getting European and Arab countries More involved by forming a coalition (Ala desert storm)....Europe and all these other Arab countries have way more to loose than America (terrorism wise).  It would be in all of their respective best interests in the long haul to stomp out the chaos of the growing civil unrest going on now....if USA just pulls out....terrorists AND IRAN will move right in....This is no longer about America vs Iraqi insurgency....it's total global situation now!

No and i will explain why. When they join the EU the whole economies will collapse. EU is nothing but trouble

Are you suggesting that the Chinese will become involved?\nThat there is a North and South Iraq?  What?

i hate to say it, but i honestly think its going to be unlikely that usa moves on, given that we're in the group of death... ghana, czech republic, and italy... i think italy & czech republic will move on...

If the Allies withdraw from Iraq before the Iraqi military can control their own country, within a couple of years people in the United States will be wringing their hands and saying, “woe is me.”  The reason is that this will be the biggest boost to the terrorists possible.  \n\nTerrorist ranks will swell with new recruits and the number of terrorists acts world wide will also increase.  What was a small sect within the world of Islam will take over suppressing those wanting peace.  \n\nEventually there will be a major attack on the United States, or Pakistan will be taken over by Islamic extremists and take charge of the nuclear weapons and missile deliver systems and this will lead to a nuclear attack on either India or Israel or both.  \n\nWhatever the scenario, this will leave the United States (and its close allies) with few options.  The first real atomic war will occur and it will be caused simple because we cut and ran from Iraq..

No, but then again Europe has had Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and all of the royals. I think we're still far ahead of the game.
