Americans in Charge Of Iraq

A lot of people have asked me my opinion on the war in Iraq recently, especially the British plans of withdrawal. To be honest I think it would be irresponsible, not because the country's in a horrible state but simply that it would mean increasing the percentage of armed forces in the country that are American. I quote from the American Army's magazine of preventive maintenance:

"A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit."

Should we really be subjecting these poor Iraqis to this kind of security...?
