i voted yes. I still haven't heard any real reasons for us going there or staying there. If we don't leave now we'll end up there forever fighting for something that has nothing to do with us
No, we have invested too much in Iraq to just leave and allow Iran capture their oil.
There are good investments, and there are bad ones too.
When investments turn bad, time to get out. In this case, the investment is a trillion bucks (or more) and a heavy loss of lives. Bad investment....really bad. But that doesn't mean that you keep doing it hoping for better results. It's not working...time to acknowledge that and leave.
If the Iranians increase their influence there, then too bad. Should've thought of that before we stupidly invaded. But that's no reason to pour another trillion into that place. Especially while we're looking to cut services for Americans right here.
Sorry Iraq. Too bad we screwed up the place, but we've gotta go. Goodbye.

It was relatively stable and secular under Hussein, pro-western is as doubtful now as it ever was. Like the man said, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
