What you don't get is that this war would have been screwed up had it been well executed.

I think you hit on the fundamental difference between what you believe and what conservatives believe. Conservatives, myself included, believe that we can't wait any longer for Democracy to miraculously appear out of thin air in the Middle East. So the idea is to see if it is possible to bring it there faster. Only time will tell if this strategy will work.

Right or wrong, everyone better hope the strategy works, because any pull out now, before a Democracy is instituted will be a disaster for everyone. Imagine an Al-Qaeda affiliated group (maybe Zarqawi's, if he survives) able to move freely in Iraq with full support of the government and access to oil revenues to carry out their nefarious acts. That is what awaits us if we pull out now.
