As long as we're there, the religious fanatics will try and kill us and each other. Staying there will do nothing to stop it.

Majority of Americans think Iraq headed for civil war
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Most Americans believe the sectarian violence in Iraq is building up to a civil war, and more than half think US troops should begin to withdraw from that country, according to a recent poll.
President George W. Bush's handling of Iraq met with a 59 percent disapproval rating, and 65 percent do not believe his administration has a clear plan for the troubled country, the Washington Post-ABC poll found.
A full 80 percent of the 1,000 people who took the survey between March 2 and 5 thought the recent upsurge in violence in Iraq made a civil war likely, and 52 percent said the United States should begin withdrawing its troops from Iraq.
Fifty-seven percent said the war in Iraq was not worth fighting against 42 percent who said it did; a two percent swing up and down respectively since the last survey was taken in late January.
Bush's overall approval rating dropped one point to 41 percent from late January, while his disapproval rating went up two to 58 percent.
On issues, Bush had negative approval ratings for his handling of Iraq, ethics in government, health care, prescription drug benefits for the elderly, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the US economy and international affairs.
Only in dealing with terrorism did Bush fare better, getting a 52 percent approval rating and a 46 percent disapproval rating in the survey that had a margin of error of plus or minus three points.
