The current situation in Iraq seems better than before. The amount of war and fights has decreased, but are still immense. George W. Bush agreed that all American troops remove from Iraq cities by June 2009 and from the entire country by 2011. The new president, Barack Obama did not disagree to this new agreement; although he is considering, a slightly slower pace of removing troops from the country. But until then, the Iraq government will have much more control in combat operations, detentions of prisoners and even prosecutions of American soldiers for grave crimes. Overall, this proves that slowly the Americans want to make their way back out of the country, and leave the Iraqi alone.
