Yes, the war was a massive mistake. But the answer to one stupid move is not another which makes a bad situation even worse.

You think if we leave Iraq things will just sort of "work themselves out." You really do. How utterly amazing.
The radicals who give us trouble are Sunnis, not Shiites, except for Hezbollah, which gives Israel more trouble than it gives us. The bigger problem with an Iraq run by Shiites is that it would lean toward Iran, not bin Laden.

Apparently you plan an indefinite military occupation. That should work well.
