10. I really wish that would happen, but.....
there's one small contingency called O I L. Iraq has proven reserves of over 1 trillion gallons of easy-to-pump, nice oil. They have the world's #2 largest supply of the stuff (second only to Saudi Arabia). If the US pulls out, what will happen to the oil? My guess is that Russia will move in quickly, establish some kind of "governing council" and get the oil moving due north, rather than west as it does now.

I wish we could get out of there, ASAP, like Stan Goff says. I have also read that the PNAC calls the US a "benevolent dictator" meaning, it's a dictator, but it's really a good guy. They actually use this to justify their world ambitions, like basically taking over the whole world.

We all know they're nuts, too.
