Shall we pull out of Iraq now?

It seems that the voice of anti-war movement to pull out of Iraq now has been up quite a few notches with each point drop of Bush's job-approval rate. I'm with those who believe we used the wrong excuse to invade Iraq. However, regardless itself wrong or right of the real reason for the president to send American troops to Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein, and regardless how we felt the stories were sexied up to justify the cause, it's irresponsible for America to pull out of Iraq now or any time soon unless people can be assured that the new Iraqis government is ready to rule their own country. The pre-mature drop-out in Afghanistan after the war against the Soviet occupation was a lesson learned the hard way, which took more lives and resources to correct the mistake America made more than two decades ago. It's one thing to offer condolence to families that have lives lost in Iraq, and provide solid support to these families to tackle their emotional and financial difficulties, and yet quite another to base our sorrow and sympathy, or even guilt, to make a critical decision with substantial consequences. A new wrong doesn't necessarily correct the old, if we believe it was. All things considered, we'll be better off to be with the president and finish the job in Iraq. In the end, who can say no to a new democratic Iraq? The reason of initiating the war may be wrong, but the accomplishment can be noble.

Remember the Pottery Barn rule: "You break it, you own it..." America should have the will and stamina to win the ultimate war, which is peace. To pull it out now will be less likely of peace, and America will have to pay a higher price down the road.
