I know that it's been plastered all over the news but it bears repeating. The planned withdrawal of all U.S. troops will be completed by the end of the month. Though a transitional force of 50,000 will remain to make sure that things go smoothly, this marks the end of the 7 year conflict.
I, for one am happy to see this end, but I remain skeptical about how things will go from this point. Iraq is still very unstable, and they may just end up worse than they were under Saddam. However, the sad fact of the matter is that we couldn't stay there forever. It now falls to the Iraqis to build their own future from this point on.
