The scary concept for me, in pulling out troops and leaving Iraq is the fact that Iran is now aware that Iraq does not possess weapons of mass-destruction, and does not have the capability to defend itself against a major assault, it's been proven Iran has been trying to destabilize Iraq, via Al-Sadr, and it is possible they were behind the killing of several Sunni clerics, the majority of muslims in Iraq, are Shi'a Muslims, the same sect of Islam as the theocratic rulers of Iran.
Saddam understood that threat well, when the Ayatollah siezed power in Iran, Saddam had the Ayatollah (Al-Sadr's father) excuted, in order to show that wasn't going to happen in Iraq.
I hope if we do leave, we do leave them with all the weapons they need to defend themselves, however it is more than likely if Saddam hadn't used chemical weapons in the first Iran/Iraq war he may have lost, I doubt they'll have the option to use those anytime soon.
