Hello R:
Couple things:
Iraq WAS secular BEFORE we invaded. So, passing around THAT message is going to make us look like dufus's - which we were.
Plus, IF Iraq LOOKS like it's becoming decent and stable, it's ONLY because we have hundreds of thousands of ARMED soldiers KEEPING it that way.
If we were to leave, that country would regress into a civil war.
