When will we leave South Korea? Germany? Wherever the heck else we are?

I realize that Iraq is, of course, a different situation, but we will probably always have a presence there, and I don't necessarily think that is a bad thing, just as it isn't a bad thing to have troops stationed in Saudi Arabia or Japan.

I believe we certainly had all the resources necessary to to quell all violence and chos in Iraq, but (as I mentioned before) we didn't have the juevos to do it. War is ugly and to expect it not to be so is unrealistic, which was the main faltering of the war.

Are we occupying those countries? We maintain a presence, but it's (mostly) one of mutual consent, and I believe it's been some time since we've bombed either of them.
