U.S. Officially Ends War in Iraq


 
Nearly 4,500 U.S. soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis lost their lives in the war that began with a "Shock and Awe" campaign of missiles pounding Baghdad, but descended into sectarian strife and a surge in U.S. troop numbers.

U.S. soldiers rolled up the flag of American forces in Iraq and slipped it into a camouflage-colored sleeve symbolically "casing" it, according to Army tradition.

What are your  thoughts?  Are leaving behind a country that says 'Hey, we are better off now than we were before'.
