They want to bring the entire world under Taliban style Islamic rule.

You are the one who doesn't get it... they DO want us to leave. The Iraqi people do, the fundamentalists do, the "normal" arabs do - everyone.
The Iraqi people are pissed because of stuff like Abu Ghraib, the power system still being down (Iraq without airco is hot), oil production having been halted, the failure to restore order, etc.
The fundamentalists want us to leave because that would mean they'd have won in the eyes of the world - which brings new people to their cause. (as does more violence, btw)
The moderate muslims want us to leave because they believe that if only we left, all the violence would stop. Or simply because they don't trust the good intentions of the west. Or because they believe the east should govern itself.
You see, there is no way to win this. You stay, you lose, you leave, you lose.
