But, staying builds resentment, pushing Iraqis to join the guerilla fighting. It's a vicious circle.
Can you say 'sucked in' ?

The US has been in Japan for 55 years and all we got was a country with a constitution not to rearm itself, a military base in Asia and a great trading partner. Japan meanwhile has the second largest economy in the world.
Pretty much the same thing in Germany (the military bases part)
