43. Unbelievable...
Iraq without the U.S. military there to stabilize it...

Is that what you call what's going on right now? The hubris in your statement is quite amazing, suggesting that it is only through US intervention that stability can be achieved.

If anything, it would be achieved in SPITE of US intervention. And the prospects for a better long-term future are still much, much better without a US military presence -- even if there is some short-term discord and discontent.
