When the greatest minds have no clue of what to to in Iraq, what can you expect of the government that is in the state of infacy with its people cutting each others throats by hundreds week in and week out.

History proved that for a foreing power to be succesful in a given country thay have to take everything from its people(land, rights, life). You have to have stomach strong enough for genocide or something close to it. If you do not do that every gallon of gasoline from that region that we'll be putting into our nice vehicles is gonna be stained by blood of thousands of troops and husdreds of thousands of civilians.
So let's get out now, is that what you're saying?

Makes sense. You say we "pushed" them into democracy too fast, so let's just leave them swinging in the breeze. Very well thought-out and mature.
