Although most of America would disagree, a need for American troops to stay in Iraq does exist. Most people really do not understand that Iran means business with their nuclear program.
With different fanatical groups and ethnic beliefs, some of these smaller factions are primarily waiting for less US involvement. Although as we all know, peace will most likely never come to the Middle East, the international community will always ask for a need for stability.
Also, everyone must remember the uses for discarded uranium off the fuel rods of the nuclear power plants. Just these alone can create damage to a major population on an unimaginable scale.
So, unfortunately the US along with the rest of the world must maintain some type of deployment in Iraq. We must keep a watchful eye and be ready to face anything in today's world. Which also means staying deployed where need be so if we need a quick response we are close enough to reach the problem in time.
The cost for maintaining troops in Iraq and in other parts of the Middle East is very high. Some will argue that the cost involved is a waist of tax payers' dollars. However, we must all keep in mind that all the freedoms, privileges, and conveniences we enjoy every day will always come at a high price.
