BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. troops should stay in Iraq to keep ethnic violence from spiraling out of control, but they shouldn't stay too long, according to a panel of Iraqi youth convened by CNN.
"Leave, but not now," said Mohamed Ibrahim, a 22-year-old medical student who lives in Baghdad.
"If American soldiers leave Iraq now it will be more, more dangerous for us," said Karrar Sabih, 21, a fellow medical student. One of his three brothers was killed by insurgents south of Baghdad in 2004.
These are opinions one hears often in Iraq. Many Iraqis are uncomfortable with foreign troops on their soil but aware that without them the country could descend deeper into sectarian warfare.

Looks like the ones that want us to stay are those who know best what will happen when we leave.
Maybe the libs need to talk to these kids and tell them what a peaceful religion they have there. I guess they haven’t heard yet.
Don't worry pal. As soon as you jokers figure out how to behave, we're outa there.
CNN doesn’t want the troops toleave because that would be bad for Hillary in ‘08.
We should pay attention to the lessons of history.
Truman withdrew TOO many American troops, TOO soon, from a young and unstable S Korea in 1949.
The results which followed from that mistake were an invasion by N Korea and the start of the Korean War. The Korean War brought death to 30,000 Americans in 30 months and brought suffering to hundreds of thousands of S. Koreans.
Truman should not have withdrawn those troops.
I know this is a CNN story but....”Attention dimRATS! Attention dimRats!”
More proof that the younger generations in that area hate the older religious tards that figure they are running the show, same thing for Iran...
Pelosi would be happy to let them all be slaughtered and Iraq become a nuclear Al Qaeda stronghold.
