The fact is, Iraq is an independent nation and if their new government want our troops out, they have every right after 2008 to deport our troops out of their country. We must wake up to the reality that Iran will have influence and economic power in Iraq. It is inevitable and we are already seeing signs that we are no long welcomed in Iraq by the people nor the government. Which is reasonable due to the U.S. military record of mistakingly killing innocent citizens, which is not totally our troops fault since our government has put them into a situation that is or similar to a civil war where their targets are unknown.
So if you support the idea of democracy, you support the idea of the representatives of the Iraqi people deciding if they wish to remain occupied by US troops or not. Lets not be hypocrites, If Iraq want us out then it is time to leave. Iraqi politicians are not naive and they certainly know what is in the best interest of the Iraqi government & their people. I believe that Iraq still needs U.S. presence, but it is totally their option after 2008.
