Baghdad

"The people think that America is like Superman, who can do anything," said some one living in Baghdad. This is just proof that the American forces in Baghdad are making some serious progress. Earlier in the War on Terror, a statement like this would have fallen from the mouths of the minority of thinkers, and would have thought that the US intervention in the region was the cause of the problems in Baghdad. But now that the US surge had moved in the major thinking is that the US forces have helped lessen attacks on the people, walls have been built to protect them from attacks, bigger planes can now fly due to less chances of being shot out of the sky and police run the streets insuring the peace of the people. But now that the people hold these men as their friends what happens to the country when they leave? Will the attacks flare up or can the peace be kept? Personally the troops should stay to insure the security of the nation and wait until it can stand on its own as a sovereign nation. For example we still have troops in Germany and Korea and its been 50 years. once there can be a security force that is led by the people of the nation then and only then should the US forces pull out of Baghdad.
