>>So you think if we pull out again, leaving the Iraqis who believed us and voted will not be punished for that by the insurgents, taliban, and all the bad guys?<<

MM-

There has been a lot of punishment of collaborators all along. And there have been a lot of Iraqis killing each other for various reasons.

There's no one faction that is more powerful than all that rest that will sweep in and cause a bloodbath if we leave. In that way, Iraq is completely unlike Viet Nam.

PS: The Taliban? They're not even in Iraq, as Sam correctly pointed out.
