re: I never argued that we should invade and conquer any nation that supports terrorism in any way. Or even that the support for terrorism from Iraq was enough by itself to justify (in a practical sense) the invasion of Iraq. But it, combined with other actions of the Iraqi government, is enough to make the invasion something other than pure naked aggression.

"Something other than pure naked aggression" is a hell of a low bar for invading and occupying a country. To the tune of $Trillions of dollars, 1000's of deaths and untold lives ruined through mental and physical injury.

re: As for making Iraq worse, leaving now would be one of the things we could do that would clearly cause Iraq to take a turn for the worse.

You know that 100% for sure? How?

What's your solution... a permanent 140K US military presence? 4 years of steady disintegration of Iraqi society has taught you anything?
