Ok. Blackman is pretty close to the money here.
I see 'pride' out there. I also see 'oil' and I see 'money'. These answers, while not completely off the mark, are very self-serving and one-dimensional.
The US currently has troops in two hostile theaters (places where violence is expected to be exchanged). Afghanistan and Iraq. First I'll explore a bit on Afghanistan.
Afghanistan has very little in the way of natural resources but they do have an overabundance of violence, poverty, and opium. So... right off we can rule out 'money' and 'oil'. And right off the bat I can hear someone yelling, "They want control of the poppy fields!" Yeah, listen. If the US wanted opium poppies they would grow them. Plenty of hurting farmers in dry land US that would LOVE to get their hands on that kinda cash. So... do shut up.
Who said that? You there! You said 'pride'. Let's explore that a bit.
Afghanistan has been in a constant warfare situation since... well... since Jesus Christ was a lance corporal. We all like to look at the former Soviet Union as being the spark that lit the candle... well... that's just not true. It goes WAY back. Well and truly back. I stop looking into Afghanistan’s past when I get to the British. So... some could say, "If the US secures a lasting and enduring peace and democracy in Afghanistan then they will win! And they want to win!" Sure... I'll give in to that one. But would that be such a bad thing?
The US would have beaten the Brits and the Russians. But... would that be such a bad thing; to bring a lasting, peaceful democracy to a place that has been in a constant civil war for the last couple of hundred years?
I'm thinking it prolly wouldn't suck as much as you might think.
Or maybe the US State Department and Military might be thinking that if the US abandons its (self imposed) obligations in Afghanistan, then groups that wish no end of ill intentions to the people of the US will once again find a place from which they can train warriors, store weapons, and direct operations.
I'ma go with Occam's Razor on this one. It's not pride. It's self-preservation.
Let's move on over to Iraq, shall we?
Ok... I'm not going to debate or even discuss in any way, shape or form the actual invasion of Iraq. There really is no point at this stage in the game. None whatsoever. Ok... ok... you twisted my arm enough. I will say this:
I ***honestly*** and with all my heart and mind and whatever else believe that the US invasion of Iraq hinged on one single fact. I will direct you to the current US president’s comment on "He tried to kill my dad!"
I'm leaving it at that.
Iraq... Why the US ended up there really isn't worth any amount of debate. How the US has conducted itself since that point in time is also a matter of public record. I'm not going to cover any of that. What I will do is a bit of prophesying on what will happen should the US withdraw prematurely from Iraq.
Total chaos in the country will ensue. We are talking about genocide on a scale that folks just aren't prepared to conceive. We are talking about Africa-sized civil war atrocities. We are talking about tons more death and violence than what we got now. The US started this and if they vacate early they will be guilty of nothing less than inciting a bloodbath free-for-all of the likes this world has yet to know. This will make the crusades look prosaic. I'm not kidding. You think it's bad there now?
Hide and watch.
The other thing that will happen is that a VAST amount of oil will be removed from the world’s economy for the next 20 to 30 years. In case any of you missed this point... the world’s economy is geared for access to oil. We are talking about a global depression that will make the 1930s look like folks were just 'roughing it a bit'. John Steinbeck wouldn't be able to get his head around it. Things would go from "suck" to "oh my lord! We are in hell!"
I'm gonna go with self-preservation on this one too.
Thanks.

Well, there is nothing difficult about getting out a country, but what is difficult about it is what you leave behind. Some people will turn your leaving into a defeat, saying you left because you were unable to accomplish your goals. Now, if you remembered back in Somalia in 1994, millions fed, and every country of the all 23 countries serving their troops in Somalia also left, and NONE OF THESE countries were labeled failures, except the US, because the U.S. happened to be the country leading the mission there.

In a situation like Iraq, it is easy to see why leaving is hard. The US shunned many of its allies in the invasion, and so they are hesitant to get involved in the after-mess. Its easier to get out when you have other allies, or the UN to take over and stay there for the long haul. As it is, the US has to go the long haul mostly on its own, and considering that there are many benefitting from the long stay there financially, the ones who will have to pay the price are future generations burdened with the debt being accumulated now.

For the same reason that it was started for in the first place... some people are making a whole lot of money from it, selling weapons, control over oil, rebuilding contracts... any way that money can be made over this war, I assure you that it is being done by those in power.

Because the people of the countries come to depend upon them and they wont let go, often they dont want the Americans to leave, for fear that things will go bad again. They need to learn to be more responsible and take care of themselves better

Too many promises made to fix the problem.
Too much money invested.
Too many lives lost, for a lost cause.
Too much pride.
