As Thomas Freidman said in a NYT article before the invasion, Iraq operates on the Pottery Barn Principle; "you break it you own it". We are now committed to Iraq and to leave now would send the wrong message and leave those parts of Iraqi society that have supported us at the mercy of terrorist and Saddam loyalists. The construction of a free and civil Iraqi society is the best counter argument to al Qaeda and its like minded allies.
Same Thomas Freidman.
Same newspaper.
Different article.
I wonder if anyone forwarded that ^^^ article to Mr. Bush.
