this goes out to Major Deek in particular, but the floor is open to all.

An elected government that represents the needs of the majority and the minority groups fairly.
A government that can defend itself and the population it represents from international jihadists and foreign conquest.
And I hear it already, what about the conquest of the US? Yes, the US invaded, removed a NON-representative government, and set-up an occupation to facilitate the formation of the above mentioned representative government. This may be considered "nation building", aggressive, and even ill-advised, but it is not conquest because the US does not nor never did intend on ruling Iraq.

optimistically speaking, a victory over there would mean that the people of Iraq will embrace freedom and will not let anyone take it from them lying down. For instance, does anyone here believe that African Americans can be enslaved today??? Of course not..or do you believe that women in the USA would revert to be subserviant if men tried to reinstall their dominance?? Of course not, these 2 demographics should illustrate that once free people will not go back to enslavement to one degree or another. Similarly, the same effect can be brought about in Iraq. As a result, they, the Iraqi people, would indeed be an inspirational example to others in their geographical locale. Don't you think that others from the surrounding countries there would try to migrate to Iraq because of the freedom? and if Iraq is on our side, that would be a perfect staging area for the USA to have for any other future threats, i.e. we used kuwait to invade iraq, and we freed kuwait from Saddam back in the 90's...We have troops in So. korea, in Japan etc

I think the only solution would be to divide the country into 3 parts. Sunnis, Shia, and Kurds can not get along so for now dividing Iraq is the only solution. Maybe 30 years from now they can unite it again, but peacefully.

It's funny, but I don't think you have an answer from Deek here yet. I wonder what he is waiting for?

A rip in the space-time continuum, as victory in Iraq is not a possibility.

We won when Saddam was removed.
And now we need to leave and let the Iraqis run Iraq themselves.
The longer the endless occupation continues, the longer it will burden our nation.

For ourselves, a stable environment for the PERMANENT bases we will maintain there.
