Jus try to imagine what would happen to the country if you simply eliminate the goverment. Especially if it's country such as Iraq that has no tradition of real and normal governemnt and lies in such conflict sensitive area with all the contradict agendas. First the probable Civil War, then alien agendas and terrorists would devastate and consume the country and condemn its citizens to total chaos.

'To stabilize' is the answer. At least in theory cause in reality the very presence of americans is the bone of contention and the etiology of violence. It is bad with americans but it would be even worse without them.
BTW I'm pretty apolitical so there's no sign of any implied sympathies within my words.
