Not only do we owe it to the Iraqi people, but we owe it too the entire Middle East to continue supporting their country. We've fucked up the Middle East for years... and now when we have the chance to rebuild a country and improve the quality of life exponentially, people think it's a good idea to back out?

Sorry, with our track record in the Middle East... we would be doing nothing but continuing a tradition of shitting on countries by getting out. Nothing would be a bigger slap in the face to the Iraqi people than to abandon their country prematurely.

The Middle East needs Iraq to work. In the grand scheme of things, the Iranian people can look up to a successful democracy and see, first hand, what they all want. Most Iranians despise their own government, but they can't do anything about it. I'm not saying they're going to overthrow their government based on the success of Iraq, but just that it will help our cause for peace.

Setting an example in Iraq can have profound affects on neighboring countries. Conversely, if we let them fall back into shambles, the religious extremist gain an entirely new population of disgruntled citizens that hate the United States.
