U.S. troops shouldn't be in Iraq in the first place, as there was never any reason to invade
Iraq. Iraq had no mass destruction weapons, the Uranium threat turned out to be hoax, and Saddam had nothing to do with the events of 9/11. Why would anybody ask now "Should the U.S. troops withdraw from Iraq ?". The question is grossly impertinent, presuming the right to invade and occupy a country illegally, without any cause. Such audacious and arrogant claims have not been seen since the 3rd Reich, apparently now in session again, with a shifted epicenter though: the USA; and this time around the hunt is on Muslims.
That such a withdrawal might result in alleged "wider regional conflicts" and "ethnic cleansing", projects the claim that the U.S. military is fighting violence in Iraq, whereas the U.S. army itself causes the violence, as it is the aggressor, illegal invader, and provocateur of any and all crisis in that region. Blaming the victims for their enforced misery, caused by the U.S. regime's unjustified occupation and war crimes, is a crime by itself. The "regional conflicts" in Iraq and surrounding countries are wide enough already, due to the massive genocide the U.S. regime practices on the Iraqi nation, and therefore can not "widen" further. On the contrary, when the U.S. aggressors and affiliated allies finally let go of their pray and leave, peace will become a realistic possibility, at last.
As per "ethnic cleansing": Whether Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds are of separate ethnic origin -or not- is and was always irrelevant to the west, so why would the west (pretend to) be concerned about their well-being all of a sudden now ? The answer is: the west is not concerned about their well-being, not even now. This fake interest is meant to continue to camouflage the real reasons for the U.S. military's presence in the Middle East: a) Oil, b) the biased support of Israel in its illegal occupation of Palestine, c) the ultimate goal to integrate the Middle East into the globalized west, where mega-corporations, military alliances, and industrial networks are devouring the rest of the world, systematically, knowingly, willingly, and deliberately.
Before the U.S. regime attacked Iraq, Iraq was a functional country, in which people worked, went to school, married, had children, produced food, etc. That Iraq's government was a dictatorship was not of U.S.' business. If people don't like their government, they can change it, by fighting it. Getting rid of Saddam, if justified,
