Iraq isn't at a point of no return, the United States is at a point of no turning back. Like any other struggle, certain elements had to be broken down in order to hopefully edify the backbone of the country for the future. What has to be done is that Iraq must start stepping up to the plate, and I think we may actually see that in the not too distant future. I personally don't have a problem with leaving, if thats what the country really wants. Do I think it would be a waste? Yes. Do I think there is still a strong chance for Iraq's future? Yes.
However, if they truly want their country to spiral further out of control, which will absolutely happen if the U.S. leaves, then lets go. People talk about Iraq being worse off than it was under Saddam, which I think is probably ridiculous. Ask the Kurds. If you really want to see how bad it can get, wait until the U.S. gives up on the country.
