Will Iraq be more secure, less secure or about the same after U.S. troops leave?

More secure. The Iraqis will rise to the occasion.
About the same. It didn't seem very secure before American combat troops left.
Less secure. Violence against Iraqis will increase without U.S. troops to protect them.
Who cares? Just bring our boys home.
