Looking at some of the asnwers, I think some people are confusing NATO with the UN.
Some NATO member nations are participating in Iraq. Most notably the British.
Neither NATO as an organization or the UN are active militarily in Iraq. The UN was initially involved in Iraq by establishing the sanctions and assigning the weapon inspectors.

I'm not sure they oprate in Iraq. From my understanding NATO is active in Afghanistan and will be in Lebanon. But Iraq, I think its just the US, British, Australia, Poland, & a few other. But not an offical NATO force.

I am glad you cleared that up. They are providing NATO troops, not enough- from what I have been hearing, so that the US doesn't have to go it alone. Unfortunately, most European countries seem to have forgotten that the US pulled Europe's "chestnuts" out of the fire in TWO world wars. They still think that if you ignore an aggressor, they will simply go away. Doesn't work. That is like ignoring a school bully. He/she won't let you and will only escalate the trouble.

So far NATO hasn't done much for us in Iraq.

of course in the event that they have been going to be logical approximately it, and be utilising their defense force power to handle threats, that they had in all probability have attacked the Saudis and further in a reasonable regime. it is the place many of the extremist terrorists come from, and additionally the place all the propagation of Wahhabite Islam with its severe message is coming from. even however muslims are very comfortable approximately non-muslims drawing close Mecca and Medina, so it may be perplexing in the severe - i think islamic troops could could overthrow the Saud in those 2 cities. there are in all probability somewhat dissimilar islamic countries that dislike the wahabites so in step with risk it could have been available. nevertheless conflict is a foul concern is it no longer. with connection with Iraq they might have been honestly terrified of Saddam getting WMD. wide-spread awful government + WMD = somewhat secure; Nutjob + WMD = possibility. Are you useful Ahmedinajad if he had nukes could be depended directly to act sanely to Pakistan if greater and greater shiite mosques have been given blown up by using your sunni extremists?

It would be the most humane thing for all Western troops to pull out of Iraq.

Iraq is not a nuclear nation. There are no WMDs there. So NATO should have no business there. But what's your business here?!
