Invading Iraq and removing the Sunni government opened the way for Shiite revolutionaries in Iran to spread their influence into the rest of the Middle-East.
The struggle between Sunni and Shiite Muslims has been going on for 14 centuries. The root of the struggle is religion and government. Sunnis believe religion should not be involved in government. Shiites believe the religion should be the government.
This is now the civil war raging in Iraq. Should Iraq fall under the rule of the Shiite Islamic revolution, the Shiite dominated eastern area of Saudia Arabia may be next. Should that happen, most of the middle east oil fields will be in the control of Iran and the movement of Bin Ladin and company.
Invading Iraq was surely a blunder. But, leaving Iraq before it is stable may be a larger blunder.

I think the U.S. was brilliant and bold to go into Iraq. No matter what happens there or how it ends up nobody can deny the fact that "the usa went in and took out Sadaam and killed his evil sons."
Sadaam got hung by his own people by their hands. Iraqi's say they are glad Sadaam is gone.
The mere fact that the U.S. went in there is a statement to the enemies of the United States that "We will go in and take you out."
When you look at World History there have always been wars and there will always be war.
Some folks choose to live in a liberal la-dee-da fantasy world of peace and love and this will not happen until He returns.
Wise people look at reality and deal with that rather than what they "would want" the world to be like. They live in the now.
The now is this..
"Sadaam was a nut and he's dead now and Thank God. Right now he's with the virgin but too bad the virgin has a moustache lol."
"Iraq has a better government than it did before and the Iraq government is more friendly to the US than the last one."
There are jerks in our us military and jerks in Iraq and jerks in Iran but we can't say that all the military are jerks or all of Iraq are jerks or all of Iran are jerks.
Lazy people brush with a broad brush. Intelligent people speak the truth.
If Democracy is so good and it's also good for people (and I believe it is) then we should spread Democracy.
It is good that USA went into Iraq. Very good.
Let's all be honest now. If it was the Democrats that went into Iraq the Republicans would be belly aching and that's wrong.
But the Republicans went into Iraq (with approval of most dem's by the way) and the Democrats are belly aching.
And that's wrong too.

Definitely, Bush failed to look at all sides of the issue before he carelessly lied and drove American forces to "liberate" Iraq. Bush did not understand the delicate nature of the balance that Saddam had. As a result, we are all paying for it, and we will be paying for it for many years to come.
But if we leave Iraq today or ten years from now, what shape will the country be in then? The United States is simply pampering those responsible for the real issues. All sides of this argument must be brought to the negotiations' table.

You should have been one of George W. Bush's advisers yet even so, he was not going to consider your data and attacked Iraq anyway. By the way, Bush is the one who stepped on the land mine called Iraq, not the U.S. A.

A landmine. A hornet's nest. A quagmire. A shame. A lie. A crime. A blunder. A waste.

i imagine you've been ingesting too a lot neo-con Kool help. no longer some thing even remotely such as peace, liberty and justice exists in Iraq. next step? Get out and enable them determine out the thanks to get peace, liberty and justice on their personal. As occupiers, we do not have any moral authority to impose democracy on them. in the adventure that they fairly like it, it has to go back from them.
