Ahhh... HELLLO???? I don't give a crap if Iraq falls into utter barbarism. I want to control the oil fields (hence make sure the profits do not end up in the hands of terrorists). I don't care about the infrastructure of Iraq. I don't care about the misery of the Iraqi people - they allowed that tyrant to stay in power, and have no one to blame but themselves.
Let the Blue Hats that answer to Kofi, peacekeep.
We're there for the protection of the American people. Period.
Ahhhh... hello? Then the strongest anti-American barbarians take control and set up a government there and let Al Qaeda come in and plot their next attack on America from Iraq and we're back to Square 1, genius.
