I think we all want the same thing for Iraq- For America to get out ASAP, and the Iraqis have a peaceful democracy.
But how does America do that? I think it all boils down to the Iraqis. America must make them see that they are in control of their destinies now, and that if they want to live in peace, they need to step up and start fighting these insurgents and terrorist and take their country. There are signs that this is happening, but it need to happen more IMO.
The Iraqis could not stand up against Saddam. They can stand up against these Insurgents and Terrorist. We can only hold their hands for so long. There will come a time they need to take the imitative and fight for their freedom.
Perhaps slowly pulling troops out will help them see we will not be there forever, and that they need to take charge.
