The way I see things regarding our invasion of Iraq is how I view Vietnam. It was none of our business and we were lied to. Having said that, we're already there. It would hurt the innocent people of Iraq MORE if we just pulled out now. Although I think it's a idiotic thing to try and democratize/americanize Iraq. However if we hadn't gone to war in the first place we could have saved over 500 American lives, and spared the loved ones of ALL troops. Also, because we are now in Iraq we will continue to have troops occupying Iraq for MANY, MANY years. (We just pulled troops out of Germany from WWII two years ago!)
Sorry... politics get my blood flowing!!

I agree, I do not know if we were justified, but the point is that we are there and it would be bad to just pack up ship.
