if the US pulls out now they will likely invite civil and then regional war - it could quickly become a war that involves most of the Middle East, North Africa and Southern Europe. This was not a mistake that can be easily fixed but yes, ultimately the US will have to pay Iraq hundreds of billions of dollars - possibly trillions in reperations. Personally, I hope that Iraq wins this in court because that would clear the way for suits from Veitnam, Panama, Nicaragua etc, etc, etc.
