Alternate plan for Iraq

Why isn't the alternate plan for Iraq leaving Iraq? Having served in Vietnam, I know first hand how occupying a country that hates all of us does not work for "democracy," not even Bush' s version. The United States cannot rule the world, or even an oppressed country, if the people in the country don't want them to. The only way we can "win" in Iraq is kill everyone. Is that what we really want?

Leaving Iraq. Admitting we can't determine everyone's destiny for them and ram it down their throats. Admitting we are just another country on this planet. Working to rebuild, like with Vietnam, when Iraq ready. The sooner we leave, the sooner stability can come. Yes, people will continue to die until the country determines it's own fate. But what are people doing now?
