Iraqis may want us out of Iraq eventually, feeling they can soon fight on their own, but the Iraqis don't want us out because we have been evil. They admire our troops:
Many Iraqis have become infatuated with the American military. Not just the efficiency with which they fight, but also how they go out of their way to avoid civilian casualties, and try to help Iraqis recover from decades of tyranny and terrorism. This doesn't get a lot of publicity, but it is changing Iraq on a fundamental level.
Seeing how well Americans fight, Iraqis copy our style and movements. To fight effectively, Iraqis must train like Americans. To supply their troops effectively, they must organize their military like Americans. To keep the money flowing to the miltary, they must suppress corruption in their civilian government.
Our military has not only defeated our jihadi enemies, they've planted seeds that could make Iraq a strategic asset if the Iraqis build an enduring democracy.
