So how many years do you think we'll have to keep 130 thousand troops there before the country can get completely rebuilt? There are still about 3 million Iraqis living in Jordan and Syria and other countries, so apparently those people aren't seeing things as so wonderful there. The Iraqi politicians can't seem to even come to an understanding on even the most basic problems (like sharing oil revenue). How can the country even begin to stand on its own if its LEADERS can't come together? I don't want to just pull out, but I also don't want to spend TRILLIONS just so the Iranians will have an ALLY right next door.
