Unless the sole criteria is that anything causing grief for the occupying
forces is in and of itself good.  In which case, concern from the
consequences of withdrawal is "liberal imperialism" or the like.  The
worse for the US, the better.  Full stop.  Never mind that the guerrillas
are assassinating popular leaders and doing everything possible to make
hell for The Iraqi People(TM).
