Why is it that it has to be US leaders who decide what to do in Iraq?

Why is it that it has to be US leaders who decide what to do in Iraq (i.e. add troops/withdraw troops etc...) when it should be up to the people of Iraq to decide if they want the US's military help or not?

P.S. I think politics in general is just screwed up, even though it is kinda necessary in some cases.

    Iraq has decided, they have had a few free elections

    they want our protection very much

    there leaders would be killed by Iran, if we left today.

    we are the only country that has control of our military

    so our leaders have to be the ones that OK our helping in Iraq

    U.S. leaders has to decide on what to do in Iraq,because if you can believe in me U.S. leaders are the suicide bombers in Iraq,they're the insurgents,they're the terrorist,they're the judges,they're the PM,in short they're the policemen.

    U.S. leaders are all things you can see in Iraq in disguise.

    Lie down & think twice......bye.

    That's just it - it doesn't...!!! The rest of the world should just get on with their lives and leave the USA there. Let the Iraqis and the USA sort things out. Iraq has got nothing to do with the rest of us, at all...???

    NOTHING...!!!

    Because, apparently, it's our business how someone else chooses to run their own country, and we're allowed to just go over and stop them.
