Iraq wouldn't let UN inspectors verify that there were no WMDs. We received information that it had an active nuclear weapons program, as well as chemical and biological weapons, not to mention that a murderous anti-U.S. dictator was running the country. We sent in our troops to verify there were no WMDs and no nuclear program. For good measure, we removed Hussein and his cronies, set up the semblance of a democracy, did our best to get the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds together, and killed a few terrorists. Can't we now credibly say "job well done" and go home? Because it seems to me that if our goal is to make sure Iraq remains a democracy, wipe out the terrorist network, and to compel the different factions get along, our troops will be there for a very long time indeed, always at risk of life and limb.
