I can't buy in to the thought that Saddam staying in power is the best thing for Iraq in any senario.
I do wish we could have figured out some way to remove him without this war. I think that would have been possible. The war was sold to us for all the wrong reasons in my opinion, IF the real reason for it was to overthrow a murderous dictator.
One thing I thought we learned in the Vietnam Conflict is that some societies simply aren't ready for democracy. It appears that Iraq may be one of them.
Having said that, I don't believe that this is the right time for a total US pullout. The lives, money and resources we've spent there would almost certainly be wasted -- as was the case in Southeast Asia if we were to do that at this point.
We've put ourselves in a very uncomfortable position.
Again.
