its not that the americans have left anything in a right state its just that americans need to leave to cool things off.
there was a suicide bombing today, as there is often in Iraq. These bombings make the news but the news rarely elaborates the motives to them, but in reality, the vast majority of bombings and assassinations are against Iraqi police, military, government or businesses that are affiliated with the US government/military, just as was the case during the Vietnam war (which also had quite a few suicide bombings, the Arabs by no means invented that tactic).
The simply reality is that first step towards peace in Iraq and to curb the violence is for the US presence to draw down, and for US contracts to draw down, and US/Foreign involvement to draw down, as history has demonstrated that this largely solved a lot of problems for Vietnam.
The targets of violence and bombings in Iraq have largely been affiliated with the US, and to remove the US is to remove the bull's-eye..
