Why is this war in Iraq still dragging on?

[Unreal]

Doesn't anyone remember why we went to Iraq in the first place?

1) WMD's, Dictator, Al-Queda. So, no WMD's were found,
Saddam is gone and we're fighting a civil war rather than
any Al-queda. No end in sight.

2) Let's think about the idea of our army marching on Iraq.
Essentially we invaded a foriegn country and have been
occupying it for nearly 5 years.

3) Iraq's infrastructure has been decimated and is being
ravages by civil war and as yet undetermined number of
casualties. Some believe upwards of 100,000 civilians
dead. These are all written off as casualties of war.

4) The 'war on terrorism' and the idea of taking the 'fight' to
them. How can anyone believe that you can wage war on
an ideal? It is like waging a war on murder. Shall we then
occupy the areas with high crime rates and wage war?

What are your reasons for supporting / not supporting this war?

The war finished years ago. The allies are there to help Iraq with the civil unrest in the country. They could pull out tomorrow and then be accused of the deaths of thousands of civilians killed in a civil war. Heads I win tails you lose situation.
