Um you or someone tried to use they do not "want" x as an excuse, then turn around and say tough cookies.
You see the issue here?
There are two issues. One, it is wrong in principle to expend the money and lives of our own people to solve foreign political problems. Two, it is futile in practlce to force alien forms of government on an unreceptive population. Those two considerations are not the same, but there is no contradiction in them.
It is time we come to this realization. Iraq in it's present form is incapable of governing and bringing stability to it's country.
The US needs to take over the country and run it for them until they are capable and ready to behave like civil human beings.
We can split the oil profits for bringing some stability to the country.
It would be a win win for both parties.
No the USA needs to mind our own business and let Iraq sort itself out. I am sure many said the same about Iran. We may not agree with them or like them, but they seem to be governing themselves ok without us. Iraq was doing ok until we broke it.
Not all cultures are ready for a western style democracy. Some cultures don't want it anyway. Who are we to dictate their needs?

For once we agree completely. The function of our military isn't and never was to play world cop, nation build or dictate to another country how to manage its internal affairs. We could save billions if not more if only we learned to mind our own business.
Might be a shock for you guys but there are actually people and countries that enjoy helping people and countries.
I am sure all the women, children and non extremists of Iraq would love to not have to live in constant civil war and terror.
