On October 19, in Baghdad, the Iraqi parliament called for American troops to depart by the end of year 2011. The United Iraqi Alliance is insisting that Iraqi government have more power in the decision of punishment for U.S. soldiers accused of wrongdoing. It has been observed that American Troops rarely leave their bases except for on official missions, so there are no worries for any legal prosecutions. Lawmakers in Iraq were trying to claim some jurisdiction on the rules of American Soldiers but the Pentagon insisted on having sole control over U.S. troops in foreign countries. Although the United States has accepted the compromise, the Bush administration has not yet set a direct date for U.S. troops to leave Iraq and claims it should be based on security circumstances, which will be worked out mutually. I agree that decisions should be made mutually and civilized; it would hopefully end the war peacefully. There is reason for other countries to control our army even though we are in their territory; they still belong to the United States. My personal theory is ending the war as soon as possible and bringing our troops home. It’s terrible that we continue to loose dozens of soldiers each day, especially for the past few years, and we haven’t really gotten any where.
