That has more appeal to me than simply "US out now." And it addresses the complaint that "US out now" is not a solution. A few trillion dollars compensation a year, for the next twenty years, would go some way towards solving the problems created by the illegal invasion and destruction.

Such a heavy financial burden would also squeeze the US "defense" budget, thus making the world a safer place in the future.
