American Spirit....I think I have to disagree with you on whether a majority of Iraqis want us out.

I think the Kurds are happy to have us there. We allow them to further consolidate their autonomy and keep things in the south from spreading toward them.

I think a solid majority of the Sunnis don't want us to leave, because they aren't crazy about the Shiite militias running unchecked.

I think at least a good 40% of the Shiites don't want us out immediately either. I haven't heard Sistani saying we should get out and I think he speaks for a pretty solid chunk of the Shiites.

I think MOST Iraqis HATE us, but I think they'd also prefer to stick with the devil they know than what's behind door #2.
