Seven reasons to stay in Iraq
12/12/06
I won't deal with why we went as another discussion of that subject invites the real possibility of spontaneous combustion.
Reasons to stay:
1. If we leave, the level of bloodshed and horror will rival the massacres of Darfur.
2. We're the only ones who can stop it (have the French disarmed Hezbollah yet?).
3. We may be handing Iraq over to terrorists or Iran (which is pretty much the same thing anyways).
4. Many Iraqis are counting on us.
5. We would lose the respect of our enemies.
6. We would lose the respect of our friends (those friends who see radical Islam as a threat as well as those around the world who do but are afraid to speak up for fear of murder or political correctness).
7. We would be throwing away the chance to change the course of the Middle East. The chance of Iraq coming to its senses may not be 100% if we stay, but the chance of it becoming a decent place to live if we leave is 0%.
Now, the disadvantages are more American casualties and a drain on our budget. However, it's reasonable to expect Iraq to need more American military attention if we leave; perhaps even more costly attention.
Leaving Iraq is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.

I think we should leave Iraq because for one this was none of our business to get into in the first place! There is more American dealths now than ever before. I think it would be in our best intersest to leave Iraq. Although some reasons are good to stay others are even better to leave. Thousands of Americans are dieing each day and we are just sitting back and letting it happen. People are losing loved ones becuase of something that is not even our business of which we should'nt have gotten into. 
Are you kidding me? Thousands a day?! Um.....Do the math. We were at 4,013 as of April 15th, 2008. If you want to do some true math that is accurate.....Why not add up the number of Kurdish deaths due to Saddam. Or the number of innocent civilian people the Baathe party used as human shields against US troops. They dont give two shits about their people. Its about power and money and terrorist groups over taking the government in order to control the money and power. If you dont fight terrorism there, we will surely be fighting it here at home. You dont put guns in the hands of gang members here at home and say "oh well its none of my business. Not my problem"...... Wake up. Responsible government doing the right thing is more important. No other government is capable and willing to do whats necessaary to protect the world from nuke terrorism....be glad we are there and SUPPORT THE TROOPS ! 
I ABSOULTLEY THINK THE UNITED STATES MILITATY SHOULD STAY IN IRAQ. IF WE LEAVE THAT COUNTRY IS BOUND FOR CIVIL WAR WHICH WOULD NOT ONLY PUT OUR STRATEGIC INTERSEST AT STAKE BUT WOULD PUT OUT NATO COUNTRIES THAT BORDER IRAQ IN POSSIBLE DANGER. NOT TO MENTION THOSE OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA AND RUSSIA WHO ALSO WANT IRAQS OIL I MEAN ITS JUST SO MANY
REASONS WHY WE SHOULDNT LEAVE. EVERY ONES TALKING A
ABOUT THE NUMBER OF TROOPS WHO ARE DYING I MEAN
COME ON IS AMERICA NOT THE LAND OF THE FREE AND
THE HOME OF THE "BRAVE" THESE BRAVE MEAN SIGN UP
FOR THE ARMY KNOWING THAT THERES A POSSIBILITY
FOR ANY THING OH THE BELLS GOING TO RING GOING HOME PEACE OUT HOMIES
These are great reasons and all are very true! I'd like to add one as well.so...
# 8. The surge is working! McCain said it, and he is right. We are getting closer and closer with more of our brave men and women over there training Iraqi police force, capturing more terrorists each day, and helping civilians.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND AMERICA!
DAFDSVV 
i think we should stay in iraq because if we leave then all the deaths will have been for no reason at all. and the way i see it it is a right to die for our country. and all the rights that we have in this country and all the privliges we have we would loose if we were to leave becuase they would try to take this country over.and you are a DUMBASS is you think this is not our fight becuase remember they atacked us first. REMEMBER 9/11
