According to a recent poll conducted in Iraq, 61% of Iraqis approve of attacks against Americans. This poll, was not just a survey of Sunnis but Shia and Kurdish Iraqis as well. The same poll also revealed that the vast majority support the withdrawal of US troops.

The government of Iraq, however, is opposed to the withdrawal of our troops. Perhaps the Iraqi leadership realizes that without US military support, the armed hugs would quickly topple the democratic government and replace it with an Iran like state within weeks. Thus begging the inevitable question. Why are Americans fighting a dieing each and every day in defense of such vermin? Would it not be more fitting to leave these savages to their own devices allowing them to slaughter each other wholesale, without our unappreciated attempts to bring representative government to the hell that is today’s Iraq?

It is high time for our troops to turn over the job of defending Iraq to the Iraqis, Iraqification must begin in earnest whether or not the job on establishing a fertile democracy in the middle east is complete.
