What do you propose we do next? Just leave?

Yes. Get out now. Illegal invasion. And I won't fall into the trap of wiseacring about what will happen if we leave - that's not the point. The point is that we have no right to be there.

Like I said: it'll never happen. And we know why.

That's a fair enough answer. Either way, there will be more blood shed in Iraq. Sure, we can just walk away but so can those who are resisting free elections in Iraq. They can walk away too. They can go back to the nieghbouring contries where many of them came from. They don't have to send suicide bombers to the voting booths, which we know they will. We could all walk away.
The West pressured the Russians to get out of Afganistan and look what happened. Taliban.
So, the big question! "Am I my brothers keeper?"
