Iraq Situation (AH)

Today’s essential question from class was this: Now that we have stirred conflict in Iraq, are we obligated to stay and help find a solution?

I believe we have a full obligation to stay and find a solution. We have radically changed their country, and introduced a new form of government to them, and the USA is currently the backbone of that government. If we pulled out now, the whole thing would collapse, and then there truly would have been no purpose what-so-ever for our involvment in Iraq. It would be unfair to Iraq and other countries involved to prematurely pull out. It would also make us look even worse than we already do, and we’d lose the respect and support of other countries. The mother hen analogy fits the situation perfectly–Iraq is not ready to be kicked out of the nest.
