Face it, whenever you attempt to help the population of any country up and out of the stoneage there are bound to be certain groups of savages willing to fight and die to keep their country in the stoneage. You either let them, forsaking the billions you've sunk into the effort so far, or you toss more money into the fire in attempts of seeing it through.
What do the Iraqi people want?... You know, the millions of smallfolk who just want their kids to be able to fetch water from the town well without getting shot to pieces. Or the millions of working class in urban areas who just want to work their office jobs like any other citizen of the world does, pay a fair tax rate, vote, and make it home every evening without having to live in constant fear of getting car bombed.
You know, stuff we tend to take for granted over here in the evil infidel-ridden west.
I'm fairly certain it isn't oppressive rule under another radical regime like Isis that the Iraqi people want. Nor do I believe they want another dictatorship.
If a US Naval Officer on a ship out in the Persian Gulf can push a button and evaporate a group of these ISIS a-holes 1200 km away I'm all for it.
