Would Chaos and instability would effect the region?
Escalating violence, civil war, more militants to worry about because now "the Americans left us". We can't just pull out like Vietnam because things are not going well, ask the Vets. Is it because they are brainwashed that they want to "finish the job" or is it because they see progress?
Look what the area spawned when we weren't there before.
Look what is happening in Korea. The next "hotbed".
Do you recall what happened on 9/11/01? Or Even the first Trade center attacks? Has anything like that happened on our shores since? Do you think it is because we stayed home?
I won't even get into the whole "oil" argument but Prices would go up. (we need to be less dependent here)
If we just pull out I predict a massive outcry from Iraq and the area. I predict MORE hatred will be born and we will see MORE acts of violence around the world.
These are my thought but you bring up valid points as well.
