Reasons for staying S. Arabia
The only reasons you gave provide justifications for staying in Iraq (if that), they give no reasons for enraging Muslims over foreign troops in S. Arabia. Staying in Iraq for more than a very short time is also a bad idea, but not what I wanted to talk about.
And I let this slide the first time you wrote it, but from my ignorant point of view, "intellectually" in "intellectually-challenged" is spelled with four ls. I wouldn't nitpick except for the irony...
