Con. why we shouldn't pull out of Iraq

We should not withdraw from Iraq unless we want the entire middle east to break out into total chaos. Surrounding countries such as Iran have had their eye on Iraq for quite some time now. If we withdraw our troops, they will send in their own militias. Furthermore, if we give the Iraqi government complete power again, Shi'ite groups will no doubt take control. The ethnic cleansing has already begun, and with the absence of our troops, the death toll will sky rocket. There are Iraqi's who want/need American assistance. Civil warfare has been taking place for years and if we withdraw, the Sunni's and Shi'ites will not hesitate to terrorize one another. We made this mess, it's our responsibility to stabilize and mend what we have destroyed.
