I agree. There's no way we should leave.
IMHO, the problems we are having there are the result of having to fight a PC war. We should simply have made the entire country submit and then made them all live in peace and free of their dictator for a few years until they got a taste for it, all the while keeping Iran and Syria at bay.
We should stay - but we should change our approach. Whether the Iraqis like it or not, they need us or they will have no country. Whether we like it or not, we have to finish what we started and we have to finish it well, but that may mean no more Mr. Nice Guy.

We MIGHT consider "dividing" Iraq.
Iraq itself was an artificial creation.
An independent Kurdistan would create mischief for the rest of the insurgent Iraqis, the Turks who weaseled out of helping us in this war, and the Iranians. If the Sunnis and Shiites hate us, the Kurds most certainly do not.
