8. Yet people still think that sending more troops in will help the situation

This hell is happening because we are there. We are the primary reason for all of the death. AQ in Iraq loses a mess of support if we leave letting the Mehdi ARmy finally have its way with them. The insurgency will most likely lose popular support becaus emost Iraqis do not want a civil war, they want a fair shake free from vengeance seekers. There is no way that will happen whil a western force occupies Iraq illegaly, while the horrors of the prison torture system continues under our watch. While deformitiy and illness continues because of depleted uranimum and looted radioactive material.

People need to realize that is not about leaving because its all our fault and this war was wrong. Its about all the carnage still happening because we are there and the more troops we put in the more targets we make, the more terrorists AQ in Iraq trains who then redistribute them worldwide (battle hardened terrorists, maybe we owe it to the world and not just Iraq to get out), the more violence is inflicted on the local populace... Leaving now is the only way to save more lives in the long run because the longer we stay the more innocents worldwide will die.
