Sure the US has made a mess of the political system there but without the US as a moderating influence the whole place would errupt into violence.
All George Bush had to do was to control one man called Saddham,who on turn controlled Iraq.Now they have increased terrorism and brought more chaos to Iraq.It is religion that has stuffed the Middle East.So to talk about withdrawal is a nonsense.The UN won't go there since the place is too feral.There is no choice.We have to stick it out and bring some form of democracy there.
The US is not the evil empire since without them the rest of the world would be well into the next world war fighting over the oil.The Bush administration have made serious errors of judgement and George is a fool who has looked for simple solutions to a complex mess.He thought it would be all over with "shock and awe".
