Are argueing practicality, the problem with that is that what is practical is not that clear. Whichever choice we make MIGHT make things worse. Lynn is argueing morally. We have no moral justification for staying, and since the Iraqis want us gone whatever happens then morally we should go. Now since any practical solution can go either way you must go with the moral arguement. If you go and it is worse for the Iraqis then you can say at least you tried to do the right thing. If you stay and THAT is worse you are stuck with the fact you did the thing that hurt them and had NO moral rationale. Saying that you THOUGHT it was best for the Iraqis, that you thought you knew better than them what was good for them, but were wrong is not morally persuasive
