As U.S. troops partially pulled out of Iraq late Monday, Iraqis marked June 30 as a day for celebration.

According to Fox News, Iraq officially took control of its fate as the United States handed over security responsibilities to Iraqi forces.

The dangers facing Iraq were brought into stark focus Monday as U.S. military officials reported that four American soldiers were killed in combat on the eve of the withdrawal.

About 130,000 troops, however, will still be in Iraq. The withdrawal is just part of a U.S.-Iraqi security pact and marks the first major step toward withdrawing all American forces from the country…

Wednesday marks the five-year anniversary of the United States’ waging war on Iraq.

 Since then, nearly 4,500 members of the U.S. military have died in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. You can read about some of them here.

Military commanders and analysts believe the war could go on for many more years. In fact, some believe this may just be the midpoint.

How long will the people support this war? The presidential candidates from both parties talk about the war, but does anyone have the solution? What do you think should happen?
