So...let's say we just pull out and the Iranians say they have to calm the chaos on their borders and protect the Shiite population of Iraq by moving 200,000 troops into Iraq. I guess we'd just live with Iran becoming the new defacto ruler of Iraq? We certainly couldn't do anything militarilly to stop it after we had just removed our troops from the area. I imagine that Iraq's ME allies will come to its assistance. Along with the Iranians coming in we might also see the Turks coiming in from the north to quell Kurd insurgent groups from using Iraqi bases as staging areas. That might happen as well. This kind of stuff happens all over the world nearly every month. Why is Iraq so special? It's EASY to come up with BLACK and WHITE answers to complex problems. As we've learned from the Bush administration, what may appear black and white is usually many many shades of gray. The only gray is the US involvement in Iraq. The American revolutionaries went nuts whenever another country tried to interfere with the new republic they had birthed. The West has been screwing with Iraq for over a hundred years and the country has never been right. Why can't you let Iraq determine its own manifest destiny?
