Why cant we (america) leave iraq?

ok the reason america invaded iraq was because iraq had WMD (THAT WAS THE ONLY REASON THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD GO ALONG) and they were a threat to the world…and it was proven by us (america) that we were wrong.

What does someone do when he has made a mistake and damaged anothers property?

Its simple…he apologizes and he compensates.

Havent we (the west) lost and killed enough inoccent people?

p.s. (excuse my spelling I am greek)
