Interesting situation. If we pull out without leaving some semblance of a government behind, we take the blame for whatever happens in the vacuum. But do we have the capacity to create any semblance of stable government. How many such responsibilities are we planning to take on? Good questions, which strongly imply that we won't be leaving anytime soon, though it looks like the Bush administration is looking for a patsy, err, a peacekeeping partner, to shoulder the burden. As far as I can see from history, when a region has deteriorated into warlordism, it cannot be put back together except through a superior power who offers the warlords the choice of sign up, or die.
