They may hate us but they,the majority, do not want us gone.
At least not yet.

Are you then saying that the democratically elected government of Iraq
does not reflect the will of the people? If so then we have failed even
more than I knew.

I am saying that they don't want us gone. Gone as you have implied
means now. If left to your reasoning we would of already been gone.

Of course the Iraqi people want an autonomous country, and that would
require that we leave, but they realize that they are not ready for us
"to be gone".

I've read otherwise.
