Bush supposedly attacked Iraq to improve life of Iraqi citizens.
But, what is the evidence?
1. American soldiers dead—4,000.
2. Iraqi citizens dead—180,000 as reported by Iraqi Ministry of Health (other estimates are considerably higher.
3. Internal citizen displacement—2 million.
4. Refugees fled to other countries—2 million more.
5. Dollar cost to date-- $3 trillion. (And electricity and water are problematic.)
We have done much more harm than good, and staying only makes it worse.

I think that he started that war for revenge on Saddam and to force Al-Quaeda to focus on a Middle Eastern target instead of focusing on infiltrating the US. That puts him morally on par with other warlords.
That said, to leave now would almost assure a civil war of greater proportions than the current war. We are left with no good options.
