constructive intervention and mediation. those are the things the US should be doing. dont go to someone elses country and tell them their way of life is wrong based on the fact that its not what our country does. in a war torn part of the world, democracy stand little chance of surviving. let them handle their own situations.
the US didn't like the way the brittish were running things so we fought for what we believed in. the people in the middle east are doing the same. I'm sure some of the iraqis want us there, but there are others that want us out. its their counrty, not ours. they have a right to run their country the way they see fit. we have no right trying to overtake them and setup our form of government for them.
If we had invaded them because they were fighting with eachother uncontrolably, I might think differently about the situation. But we went there looking for WMD, didnt find any and decided to change every aspect of their world for our benefit. sounds very irrational to me.
