The fact is, though, that we can't leave right now because doing so would create even more instability (yup, it's possible) in a very unstable region and I think that would have terrible consequences for us and our allies down the road.

I agree. As someone who is very involved with the adopt-a-soldier program, I've talked to many of our soldiers who are currently stationed in Iraq. All of them echo KillarneyRose's sentiments.
(Tangent: If anyone is looking for a good philanthropy project for their chapter -- alumnae or collegiate -- I strongly urge you to adopt a soldier. Those guys and girls love hearing from folks back home. Also, if anyone here is a teacher and is looking for a class project, have your kids write letters or draw pictures for the soldiers. Hearing from kids really brightens their day.)
