The last part of your question says it all. The ball is in their court now.
As we have sadly learned in the past, if the people in a country are not willing to stand up and fight for their own rights and freedom, all of the humanitarian and military aid we can muster will be in vane.
The first election was a very positive indicator - the present war between the different factions within the country is a very negative indicator.
It seems at times that the people's devotion to their own sects far outweigh any patriotism they have for their country as a whole, and that's sad.

Not for a minimum of 75 years. Heck we still have all of our major bases from WORLD WAR II. Germany, Japan, Samoa. Uncle Jorge Bush has gotten us into this neck deep and we're there for a long time to come.

When we finish the job I pray. Otherwise thousands of Iraqi people will be slaughtered and terrorists will be bred in Iraq to attack us here.

Completely out, not in the next few decades. Having the Iraqi people take over their own security in the next few years.

Its not ending tomorrow I can tell you that, and it will probably last for some even past 2008. It all depends on how well we can get the Iraqi forces trained, and the sectarian violence down.

World War II was how many years ago and we still have troops in Germany. NATO is still in Bosnia and Kosovo. So heck, no one can really say.

Well...There is no way to be able to tell when we'll be out of this, but the only thing we can do is support. with support we can go a long way. and hopefully with the support we give we can get through this as fast as possible.

this is a easy question to answer relatively, at the current rate of training, public support, and iraqi support, we will be ready to leave completely relatively by 2009
