I think the main reason they don't want to go in is that they'd be in the same position the US is in now -- not a good one. You may say the threat of Iraq falling into chaos might be a motivating factor, but that's serious brinksmanship.
If they will come, I agree we should go. If they won't, I'm mixed about leaving. Sistani's new party platform has a plank to "negotiate US withdrawal". He's done a pretty effective job of maintaining order in the areas in which he holds influence. I'll be listening to what else he has to say on the matter.
