Try to see things from the other way around: we fought England over colonial rule without representation. They're fighting us over 10 years of bombing runs -- we've been laying the nation to waste for over 15 years now! In all likeliness, and according the the intelligence we have yet to pay heed to, if we left them alone they would lose momentum. Your assertion is that all Iraqi people (or al-Queda) would band together to destroy us, that they would become emboldened, is foolish: they are doing that now because we have invaded their homes and are killing their people (innocents and combatants alike). Please, step away from the "US as a superpower" view and look back to why we fought wars prior to the Korean war. We are giving them justification for fighting the longer we stay.
