That's right ... the war between those factions has been going on and on, and WE will NOT stop it.
Being IN Iraq is not stopping that conflict - in fact, we exacerbated it!!
If you believe in what the Bible says, those people will fight each other until the end of time. WHY should we stay in the MIDDLE of it? WHAT good is that DOING? None!
Comparing the Balkan / U.N situation is NOT the same thing.
The U.S. MADE the mess in Iraq, but we continue to make the mess WORSE by STAYING.

  A minor correction: The U.S. did NOT "make the mess" in Iraq. Iraq has been a mess for many, many years. Saddam simply used brute force to keep it under control. We just removed the control over the mess that was already there.

    I would MOSTLY agree with that ... Saddam kept the religious factions under control.
    But, when we invaded Iraq, we made his 'mess' MUCH worse and it continues to get worse.
