Almost each day i wake up to the news to see that atleast one American soldier has been killed from an Iraqi attack, I think the figures are around 64 dead since the end of the war was 'declared'. Being from Australia, I dont know what the general concensus of the public is in the USA, some believe that US troops should pull out as too many are being pipped off, however, i do not see it this way, the fact that soldiers are being killed should hold a strong argument for the troops staying put in Iraq. What kind of chaos would errupt if US troops all of a sudden pulled out?, Iraq would be a lot worse off than it was when saddam was in power. If the USA wants to act like world police than they must take the bad with the good. And also, i don't feel the Iraq situation is that bad anymore, politically. When it all first started there were not very many nations willing to join in, but now even the U.N wants a peice of it, and i think it took a terrorist bombing for them to realise how important stability in the middle east will mean to the stability of the world
