Who exactly are you talking about? The Al Qaeda types are dead, and the Baathists are powerless. Some bad folks might indeed seize power in Iraq, but it won't be the same ones who were in control before.

As far as the lives being wasted, sticking around would just waste more lives. The problems that we're talking about aren't problems that the US can solve - the Iraqis have to solve them on their own.
