<<He said he recognised that many Iraqis wanted an end to occupation, but claimed: "If we cut and run, their country would be at the mercy of the warring groups which are united only in their distaste for democracy." >>

1. OK, then it's a victory for fanatics

Call it whatever you want, "threats" like this were pretty much used up 30 years ago in Vietnam and are now just recycled bullshit.

4. Yes, it would, which is why we shouldn't have gone in in the first place

We had too little chance of a good result, too much chance that exactly this would happen. You can't fix shortsighted policy by wishing really hard that it had worked. They opened the box, now they complain that it's hard to close again.
