It seems to me that Iraq is drifting increasingly into a civil war between the sh'ias and the sunnis... I don't think stability will be possible until that conflict has been resolved.
The problem is that the US created a power vacuum when they removed Saddam. The populace isn't ready for democracy... as they don't seem to respect the outcome of elections the way we do here in the west (US election 2000 aside).
Ultimately, the US has a responsibilty to clean up the mess it created in Iraq. The US can leave now and leave instability in its wake or it can keep spending lives and treasure in an effort to restabilize Iraq. This will take years.
