Not at all.
Our enemy has much loftier goals than most people in this country understand. Know your enemy.
The Middle East is much more complex than Americans realize.
Our enemy has long used the strategy they learned from Viet Nam and our politicians and media are playing right into it but with less justification, considering their own political positions.
Even Hillary, will suddenly see the light if elected and push to keep troops engaged on the ground. She has already set the stage to do so, but will continue to campaign against it in order to be elected.
I've explained it much more fully in my blog:

Violence is the norm there. I mean, who gets beheaded in this country for a crime? No, it won't stop. Their government is ruled by their various factions of religion, and people are more passionate about their religious views than they are most everything else. These people pray HOW many times a day? Isn't it 5? Correct me if I am wrong.
Will they be able to blame it on us being there? No, and more of our troops would still be alive. That whole region has been at war within itself for a very long time, our being there, or not being there is not going to stop the violence.
Sad, isn't it?

No.
First of all, terrorists are not who are doing most of the bombings in Iraq. Terrorist attack civilians for no reason. What's happening in Iraq is a civil war. Different standards apply.
Second, upon a US withdrawal, the violence would continue until one faction achieved dominance, or until different factions reached a stalemate controlling different regions.

While the terrorists are killing Iraqi people, their intent is to embarrass and humiliate America. They only kill the people of the country to intimidate and control. If we left they might stop killing the people and just blow up the oil fields or start in on Egypt or some other neighboring country. You see they hate the US, if we don't take the fight to them, they definitely will bring it to us. If one just looked at the public view while Saddam Hussein was in power, it may have looked like they were living in peace. Forced peace, sit down and shut up or disappear in the night. These people don't care what happens to others as long as they get back in control.

Not at all, there would be an uprising, and the democracy that is starting to form, hopefully, would be overthrown by the insurgency, creating as ive said many times on yahoo answers, a safe haven for the terrorists, allowing to rebuild their network further creating problems for the US. If they pulled out before finishing their job, it would defeat the purpose of going there to begin with, whether going was justified or nto the reality is that we ARE there, and we shouldnt leave before it is done in order to get something out of our struggles.

No, the terrorist's would still be around, the suicide bombers would still be blowing everyone up.
I don't think us coming home and the war stopping will put an end to any of that.

No, the terrorists have already stated that they want to kill all of the infidels, which means everyone that is not of the Muslim faith. We already know that they hate the jews and now they want to kill us all.
Now if we pulled out because we either wiped them out or Iraq was capable of defending themselves that would be a very good thing.
