but there was no popular movement inside Iraq supporting revolution

Yes there was, there were plenty. The problem is we never supported them like we said, and they all ended up dead... along with their entire family. There were plenty of revolutionary forces throughout Saddam's regeim, it's not as if they were happy.
I find it interesting how Moore changes with the winds. Before the war he proclaimed our troops as killers and rapists, now he's "supporting them" by pulling them out, something that the vast majority do not want to happen. Before the war he proclaimed the insurgents as the American Revolutionaries, now they're nothing alike.
We can not pull out right now. The Iraqi Army is gaining strength and is getting better. From what my friends who serve say, they are starting to carry out missions with Americans only providing support when needed. Once we rebuild the strength and confidence of the Iraqi Army, we can start withdrawing. We've already done that completely to a couple major cities, we need to keep that going. Once we leave a civil war WILL erupt, the strength of the war can not be measured at this point, no one knows. We have to ensure the Iraqi Army will be strong enough to maintain the peace as an autonomous force.
What is never understood about the MSM is that once we leave many of the militias and insurgents will disband. Many militias hate Al Qaeda and other Islamofacist units more than us, and frequently give us information about them. Once we leave, I believe the majority of these militias will throw their support with the government.

Overall, we (the Westrn countries with troops there) should leave as fast as we can, and let them go to hell if they want to, but welcome them into the world's family of nations if we can, and when they're ready.

So how'd that work for Afghanistan?
