Just make sure you get the job done first.
The US bombed a good portion of Iraq all the way back to the stone age, and did so using arguments that later turned out to be false as the justification for it. More than 10.000 Iraqi citizens are dead as a result of the war. As such I dare say you have a moral responsibility to help put Iraq on the right track before withdrawing your troops.
You won the war. But please, do your best to win the peace as well.
