Im sorry to use such a cliche but that would mean the terrorists won. With drawing support from a now war torn region is probabally the worst thing America could do at this point. The next president, Demo, or Repub, is going to have a big mess on their hands. Its not the fault of a political organization tho. Its the nature of war. Chaotic, bloody, and just all around terrible, but you cant change your mind about it. You need the constitution to see it through. If American forces were withdrawn today from iraq, there would be Civil war and eventual genocide.
Some may say, yes but it is the republicans fault because they were the ones who declared war. Maybe a republican government declared war, but America Went to war.
If too many dying is what makes someone turn tail and run from a war, then what about in WWI where a million men would die in a single battle? WWII Thousands on the beaches of Normandy to liberate france, and eventually the rest of Europe, Those weren't to many then. They were American heros, they gave their lives to save a foreign power.
It is the same, if the allied powers turned tail and ran "because its to many" then there would be a dictator ruling the european continent, and more than likely, the rest of the world.
If Today we withdraw rom Iraq it will further destabilize the middle east, the amount of lives lost and ruined would not even be fathomable. This is our mess, we made it, we need to clean it up. But, withdrawig support is not the way to do it
