Only the Politicians in Iraq want us to remain, presumably to ensure their continued power..........I dont think a "phased pullout" is the answer, and no, we cant "fix" it even if we did cause the problem in the first place by invading. Iraq is poised on the brink of civil war because the Sunnis and the Shi'ites refuse to share power. They have very different ideas about how things should be done, and these arent the types to compromise. For them, government and religion are inextricably intertwined, and the two sects are at an impasse. Anyone who thinks that we can "fix" Iraq is incredibly naive.

So, we just pull up and get out now and watch possibly hundreds of thousands die in a matter of months
Or, we try in the next, say year to do what we can and hopefully save those lives. I cannot believe you are that cruel
