I was not for the invasion and war with Iraq, am p*ssed to this day about the duplicity that I see being used as justification for our being there, and am immmeasurably saddened by the deaths on all sides and atrocities perpetrated by all around - but I don't think that we should have an unconditional, immediate pull-out.
Staying is a bad option, but leaving would be worse.
