| A lot of countries have a stake in this, including Europe, and maybe Australia (though less so compared to Europe and the US).
If things fail in Iraq, the consequence could be a gigantic terrorist haven that can be used as a staging area for supporting groups overseas (training, command and control to an extent, supply etc.).
Right now the whole reason for needing to succeed in Iraq is totally different from when the US actually went in. Turned out to be wrong about the WMD etc. but right now that is no longer the point.
