How do you think the new Congress, controlled by Democrats, will perform?

Odds are slim to none.
There is a big mess there as a result of Bush's war.
The Democrats will explore all avenues that will try to patch up the mess.
The mess could last a long, long time, I can't predict how long.
I can say this much, Bush fooled everyone and sucked in many into this Abyss. That includes many Democrats as well.
Now, nobody is owning up to the endless pit created.
Eventually, you and I will be asked to pay for it (taxes).

You have asked three questions. I cannot find a common thread, except maybe to bait dissention between answerers.
Odds that America will leave Iraq within a year = 0. We will remain threre in some capacity, although perhaps not totally engaged in combat operations as we are today.
Will Americans be content again=no. Americans are never content. There is too much that is broken and too much damage inflicted by the Republican party since 2000 for any party to fix within 2 years.
How will a democratically controlled congress perform=depends upon the level of cooperation from the minority party and the white house, as always. Perhaps the Republicans "got it" after the last election. If so, congress will probably perform well. I forsee investigations into numerous wrongdoings and more oversight by congress.

We CANNOT leave Iraq in it's present state. If we do anyone could just walk right in and take control, and chances are this person will be no better than Saddam. I wholeheartedly support our troops, and I support the war (although I do believe it was the right things for the wrong reasons). We went over there and we started something and now we need to stay until our job is done. Any attempt to pull out before we are finished will only result in an even bigger mess over there and will make the US look worse.

On the war in Iraq, they will perform about as badly as the Republicans did. We will be in Iraq, until we either destroy the insurgency or the Iraqi's ask us to leave.
