Because the place is a great bloody mess and you can't just bugger off and leave them now and expect 'democracy' to mean anything other than the group with the most ordinance wins?
Because someone has to protect the foreign engineers, medical workers, etc. who are trying to put the place back together again and keep getting kidnapped and beheaded for their troubles?
Because it was all an insidious plot by George Bush (well, God told him to do it, so I'm sure we can all work out the mastermind behind the plan) to take over the country to steal all their oil and gain a foothold in the Middle East, so now that they're there you wont pry them loose with an iron bar?
Pick a reason. Don't like any of them; hell, make one up!

...so to sum up, if they leave it will be worst than when they got there, in fact it is now, but then it will be worst than that.

They have to protect their money making ventures (oil). If they pull out Iraq will descend into chaos and oil production will suffer. Money makes the world go round.

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to lady_lazarus again.
Tawn and Jewscout - you are cynics (although I must admit that I am using my definition of cynic - a pessimistic realist - rather than one who knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing). So, sadly, I have to agree - but I hope that Lady L is also right, and that there is a genuine wish not to leave the Iraquis in the mess that we have jointly put them.

cynic or no, regardless of what rose-colored spin we choose to put on this situation, we have to ask ourselves to what ends did W. feel the need to enter into Iraq.
i'm just looking at it from a real politik view, what greater national interests did W. think this war and our presense in Iraq would serve? I truely believe he thinks he's doing the right thing for America (whether or not i agree is another issue all together...)

I think Bush is bordering on being the next Hitler, who also thought he was doing the right thing.
