That's the most simple answer of all: Iraq NEVER warred against us. They have neither the means nor the inclination to "bring the fight here". Of the non-Iraqi presence in Iraq, less than 5% are al Qaeda, who now have incredibly limited movement. Most are Saudis (like the Saudis blamed for 9/11, which was never addressed). Virtually none are Iranian.
If we left Iraq, we would be in less danger here in the US. That is a fundamental, undeniable fact.
