Imagine if the U.S. and its allies did withdraw: the slaughter that would follow would be devastating. The coalition forces are performing a function vitally needed by the Iraqi people and welcomed by most of them. The troops are acting under incredibly difficult circumstances. They are all that stands between Iraq and total chaos. Tony Solms Tzaneen, South Africa...
