Iraq handled like the presidency - with incompetence.

I don't think the fighting will stop if we leave, the difference is they will be killing themselves instead of us killing them and them killing us (AND them still killing themselves

)

But I see your point, we gotta finish what we started. Its a crappy situation to be in sadly.

-EDIT-

One question I have though... when will it be safe to pull out? What if they don't stop fighting?

And I totally agree with you. Doesn't matter if we leave, the fighting won't stop. The people don't know how to live without crime in their life. So us leaving won't stop any killing (other then American Troops of course) over there.

That is a tough question. I mean, when is it safe to pull out? I don't think it would ever be really safe for us to pull out of that country. Example, look at Korea. We have been there since the Korean War. And the North Koreans are still trying to fight the South Koreans. They want Korea to be one county, not divided into North and South. Why? Don't know, it's just the way of life.

Do I think we should setup shop there and have Camps like we do in other parts of the world? Heck no! I don't know how long this job is going to take, but as long as we are there we shouldn't get comfortable.

I just can't answer that question right now, things are just too hot over there to even speculate. As everything else in this world, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Well, the short answer is it won't be safe to pull out until they have their own dedicated security force that can keep the peace once we leave. If we pull out before that, you can be sure that the place will go to hell in a hurry.

Now try explaining that to the hardcore liberals.

I don't think many people understand what a true democracy could/would do for the Middle East and Islamic world in general.
I know for a fact that Islam is not a religion of tolerance, not ONE Islamic nation is free. Changing Iraq could possibly change the Muslim world for the better.
