If this was the headline tomorrow ..that Iraq is asking the USA to leave immediately and to remove all of its troops from Iraqi territory before the end of September, and that they have cut a deal with Iran to help stabilize their country.
What would be your recommendation to President Bush ...if you were a trusted advisor?

Well it depends on whether Iraq belongs to the USA or is an independent country.
Depending on where you fall on that question....thats what you will recommend.
Clearly from reading the answers to your question...many americans apparently believe iraq is their property and has no sovereignty and no right to do anything other than what the USA approves of.

I think democracy in Iran is important to both the U.S. & Iran - but more so in Iran. The Iranian people need and deserve more freedoms than what they've had. For 30 years, the Iranians have had their freedoms and their country limited/restricted by some those in charge. You can't dance in the streets, because it's against the law. You can't convert to another religion if you're Muslim, because it's against the law. Women have to cover their hair with hejabs, because if they don't - it's against the law...These are *simple*, *basic* rights that these people should have - but don't! I think the Iranians need to free themselves from these and other repressions - so that their country and their people can progress! I also think that Iran is getting more attention on the international front - like someone else here mentioned - due to certain issues that have been present there. (The "nuclear issue" has been a *HUGE* spotlight and attention-grabber obviously - but I also think that what "Ahmedi" has said has also raised a number of eyebrows!) I, personally, would *LOVE* to see positive and successful relations for our two countries! (After all, it's a been a loooong 30 years since we've officially been friends!) And honestly - I personally could not care about the oil! (We all need to move away from oil, I think - and become more eco-friendly/fuel efficient/alternative fuel for the sake of our earth/environment...Besides, oil usually causes too many problems anyways - why do we all need to keep fighting wars in the name of oil?!...It just does not make any sense!) I know that this is ultimately going to have to be a battle that the Iranian people will have to fight and win - but I feel horrible and sickened by the fact that the common civilian is not even allowed to carry anything to defend themselves with, especially when they come under the attack of the Revolutionary Guard and/or basij!!! (I have seen far too many videos of the police/basij beating innocent civilians - women and the elderly - for absolutely no reason whatsoever! Obviously, there is a serious misuse/abuse of power! I feel so bad for these poor people - they don't deserve to beaten like that! They are not dogs - they are human beings and deserve to be treated as such!) I wish there is something America could do to help the people of Iran! All we can do is support you, though - which, a lot of us have already been doing! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! May Mousavi and the Iranian people triumph! America supports the Iranian people and their rights to freedoms!

Well as a Bush Advisor I would state that this move would empower Opec and we Needed to stay the course. Now if there was an actaul war then we could form 2 Republics or do like Britian did and just redistrict areas in Iran and Iraq based on the native people living in that area.
This is all a result of the Ottoman empire falling.

I would advise him to side with the Sunni's and place a Sunni leader as the new head of the government. Then I would instruct that new leader to clamp down on the Militant/Iran backed Shia's any way necessary. Including hunting them down and imprisoning them. Then I would have the Sunni's of Iraq attack Iran..............
Wait now that I think about it, that is exactly what was in Iraq before we attacked them!!!!!
Oooooppppssss!! Never mind.

SOme of these answers (especially Idiot McFlightsuit) just can't see beyond their political affiliation and glass of Koolaid.
I guess I'd advise us to leave on the next plane out.
In recent news is that we are working on the freezing of money supplies with Iran like we did with N. Korea. I have no idea how international banking works but it seems to have caused N. Korea to toe the line. Iran may be next. So it goes for the axis of evil.

Maliki already said the U.S can leave anytime, but he needs more training for his security forces. My recommedation? Pull out all our troops and leave just a few to help train both Sunni and Shiite equally so that no one tribe has a security monopoly over the other. We all know Maliki is a puppet of al-Sadr anyway, thanks to Bush. SHEEESH what an absolute mess he's created from this fiasco.

A recommendation for Bush...???Oh dear...To sleep with the lights off and not be scared maybe?
But regarding the middle East...invade Iran means that you 'll be remembered as the man who united Pakistanis, Afghans, Iranians and Arabs...against the States of course.
Well, for me really worths to try it. After all, Empires fall every century- most of them because they overestimated their power.

Well libs will take it bait and hook I'm sure. If I was bush I would say no. It's common knowledge that most weapons used by Iraqi suicide bombers and 'martyrs' come from Iran. There have also been numerous corrupt high officials sabotaging our progress. It's entirely possible Iran has seen our pitiful nation crying to get out, and taken full advantage of making a pact with Iraq to oblige us and take over ASAP.

Do the right thing and march right out of Iraq immediately and stop waging war against countries that are no threat to anybody.
