First sentence - Could not be farther from the truth - around 80% of Iraq people don't want US troops in Iraq.

Second sentence - True and the reason they have been fighting long before the US was ever heard of, is the reason they will be there long after the US has gone.

There is something to be said about having troops from another nation in Iraq, especially non-US troops. There was never much love lost between the Middle East and the US, especially after an abominable track record - and the "anti" is now up even higher - not just in Iraq. But.... doubt "independent" troops would be much use now - the damage is irrecoverable and destined to complete failure. The US started the shit - let em clean it up.
