I agree with you, the reasons we are there are in itself at the moment irrelevant. We are there, that is where we are at right now.
The reason people dont speak about what to do is, in my opinion, everyone knows we cant just back out. While you may have disagreed with the reasons to go in, only a moron would just say "get our boys out" simply because Iraq would become a petrie dish for terrorism that Afghanistan was. The US would not only be hated, but would look foolish and short-sighted.
We have two options. 1) Back out too soon, only to feed what we've been fighting, or 2) Stick in there until the job is done, no matter how many brothers/fathers/husbands come home draped in their flag.
