I agree Iraq will not be stable while we are there, and probably won't be stable for at least a decade after we leave unless another ruthless and oppressive dictator takes over. My concern is that if we show weakness in Iraq we will be inviting mass terrorism here.

Russia is a prime example of how to deal with terrorists. Their tactics are ruthless but effective. A few decades ago terrorists took over a passenger plane. Russian troops stormed the plane killing everyone until they were sure the terrorists were dead. No more plane problems. Recently Chechen rebels took a school. Again the Soviet government acted ruthlessly and again things quieted down a lot. Terrorist talk up a great story about wanting to die but not many of them are dumb enough to actually perform an act of obvious suicide.

Terrorists understand two things very well: Strength and weakness.
