Iraq is a total disaster. Yes there are a few areas like Kurdistan where you might be able to walk the streets without a platoon of bodyguards, but most of the country is completely out of control, plus conditions are worse than they were under Saddam. Very little power, clean water, gasoline, jobs, etc. Plus everyone is paranoid and no one knows who's going to kill who next. In fact the US doesn't even know for sure who the enemy are. Bush calls them "terrorists", but for all we know we created most of them with our invasion.

Let me ask you this, would you pick up weapon and fight if Arabs occupied your hometown and killed some of your friends in a bombing run? Damn right you would. Which is why half the country in Iraq thinks it's OK to kill Americans.

This has put tremendous stress on our troops and military. Despite the trillion dollars we're going to blow over there, our military is exhausted and badly needs a break. This costly war has exposed us and we would be ill-equipped now to respond to any other major threat in the world.
