To pick up and leave would break the promises we have made to the Iraqi people, would leave hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians defenseless, would lead to massive chaos and bloodshed, and would be an act of moral dishonor. It would be akin to what the Allies did after World War II, when they abandoned Eastern Europe to the Soviets and returned millions of Russian refugees and POWs to lands occupied by the Red Army—even though the Allies knew that, for many, it meant death and, for the rest, tyranny. ---Charles Colson

Not only would it break promises to them, it would mean worldwide disaster. This war has far reaching implications. Chaos would break loose in the middle east which would cause worldwide oil shortages. This would cause more crime, poverty, homelessness, forclosures, etc etc and on and on.

I do not recall , The American government making any type of promise to the Iraqi People. I thought We went into to dispose a petty dictator that had a big mouth and a bigger ultra ego that upset and insulted this GREAT NATION by applauding the after effect of 911.
This country did Iraq a great service of disposing of that idiot.
IT is not our fault that Iraq is fighting a civil war. A CIVIL WAR THAT THEY have inflicted upon themselves,
I think the Iraqi people need to stand up fend for themselves for once,instead of milking the United States for currency and American blood.
And i will be honest if we continue to spill blood and give currency
to those stupid people . then this country should get something in return.
this was a dumb war! all i agree is that the United States dispose d saddems trancy other then that.
WE OWE NOTHING

Policy for Iraq changes about every month so what promises are you speaking about?
Yes, we did exactly as you said after W.W.2 but that was decided at the Yalta Peace Accord. General Eisenhower said it was one of the hardest orders he ever had to enforce.
No matter what was promised to the Iraqi people, they are not going to get rid of us any time soon. We are there for the long haul, which means until we haul out all the Oil. So while we are there we will protect as many of Iraq's people as possible.

Democrats have no problem breaking promises.
Republicans usually assert some ethics, but in Congress, there are a few lilly-livered conservative wannabes who think they should protect their next election rather than keep a promise made to an ally.

They were better off under Saddam.
Now, because of Bush's invasion, the entire middle east is more unstable than at any other time in human history.

Absolutely - and if we don't, shame on us.
We will deserve the consequences of our choices - and we had better make them wise choices.

Yes we should keep our promises. Our fearless leaders selectively adhere to principles that their voters embrace.
"if you brake it you either buy it or fix it".
