I'd love to see a withdrawal of forces of some decent amount. I believe that half the problem is caused by the fact that we're there supposedly "keeping the peace". If it came to the Iraqis actually having to deal with the day to day relationships between the factions they might actually work at it. As it is I think that the Powers That Be (PTBs) and the Iraqi gov't, are abusing the troops to try to shore-up the position of the current gov't.

I really don't think withdrawing to Kuwait is an option. If there is a "real" Al-Quaida in Iraq they will attack across the border and cause problems for the Kuwaitis. I think we should withdraw to home and then augment the troops in Afghanistan and limit the number of fronts we're engaged in. We should have never gone to Iraq in the first place much less before actually defeating Al Quaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
