re:It depends
If we had lots and lots of good news, we'd be wondering what the coalition troops were doing in Iraq and why there isn't so far an Iraqi government (even a transitory one).
But it's not yet the case.
I wonder what kind of level of pacification must be reached before the US troops are okayed to leave the country.
Iraqis have a culture, a level of temperament and the US troops must understand they're not like us and not force them to be like us.
