for an amrican, yes.
He has some good point, but I don't like the idea that the US leaves Iraq. They made the mess, they have to clean it. Leaving in a hurry could result in a much bigger mess (kurds in the noth declare independence -> turkey intervens)
But I also don't know what to do, unlike other people I think the situation in Iraq is far from "normal" or is "good". And I'm afraid things will get worse.
