Would that stop terrorist attacks against the United States and its allies and stop the insurgency threat in Iraq, you think?
As terrorist attacks, so far, have had absolutly zero do with Iraq, that seems like a rather stupid question.

The one thing that has united the insurgency thus far is the US occupation, so US withdrawal is likely to weaken the insurgency dramatically. On the other hand the puppet governement set up by the US in Iraq (yes, I knew they were elected but under highly manipulative US rules) may prove too inept and greedy to do much about an even weakened insurgency.

We should withdraw regardless. The longer we stay the worse it will become.
