If we stay, hundreds of Iraqis and Americans and British will die.
If we just leave only a few will die from parting shots.
If we leave, a strong man will emerge, probably a Muslim cleric that hates us and will aspire to become another Iran, with a theocratic government and atomic powere.
If we stay, the same thing.
