Why not? That's exactly what the Iraqi's themselves obviously want us to do. What gives you any right to contradict their wishes? How unbelievably arrogant of you.

If that's what they really want then we should be happy to comply. Let them sort it all out for themselves. Let them "pick up the tab" themselves too, or let them get the UN to do so, if they can. We picked up the tab for getting rid of Saddam for them, which was far more than they actually deserved, so they can cover the rest themselves, certainly. They have lots of oil to sell; they certainly aren't so poor that they can't afford to pay their own way just like we have to. Maybe if it all comes out of their own pockets from here on out they'll value it a lot more than they apparently do right now.
