Time for a rethink?

The argument against pulling our troops out of Iraq has always been that it would make a bad situation worse, but I really think we have reached the stage now of asking the question - could it be any worse? Getting out would certainly not make things any better and there's a strong argument that we have a responsibility to deal with a mess which we have helped create, but I am coming round to the view that whether our troops are there or not will make no difference to what is happening in that unfortunate country, and in those circumstances you obviously bring them home.
