I've got mixed feelings.
The war, if it was really, truly about WMDs, was fine. If there was a threat, we needed to get rid of it. However, I think Bush should have spent more time finding out if they were actually there. At least Saddam is gone. That was a huge benefit. As bad as the fighting still is over there, at least now there's a chance for peace over there. With Saddam in power, it would have never happened. However, we need a really good, effective plan to get out of there. I think if we just immediately withdrew all the troops the country would collapse and the 3000+ dead soldiers would be in vain. We can't just stay there indefinitely. It's just eating up time and money and lives. We need a concrete plan to get out of there, that involves setting up a strong government that can control the conflicts between the Sunnis, Shi'ites, etc. on their own. We should give them the knowledge and power to do it, then set them free.
But hey, what do I know. I'm only 18. Politics are still a mystery to me. This is just my $0.02.
