Less sarcasm, please.

The United States spent how many years in Germany and Japan after WW2 rebuilding the govts? (I know it was on the order of decades, just don't have exact numbers in my noodle atm.)

Anyway, yes, it should be obvious to you that it would be next to criminal to leave Iraq right now, regardless of wether or not you personally supported the war effort.

Leaving now would just plunge the country into chaos and possibly civil war.
