"In April 2019, the State Department announced Iran was responsible for killing 608 U.S. troops during the Iraq War. Soleimani was the head of the Iranian and Iranian-backed forces carrying out those operations killing American troops. According to the State Department, 17 percent of all deaths of U.S. personnel in Iraq from 2003 to 2011 were orchestrated by Soleimani."

I don't claim to know anything about Soleimani or why he saw a need to attack so many US troops that were not even in his country.  Maybe he had stopped? Maybe he was trying to play nice? Or maybe not.  Probably not.  
I don't mourn Soleimani.
But I don't think any of this ends with US still having an embassy in Baghdad.  
I just hope all our guys make it out of there safe, and I hope the Kurds in Erbil don't take any collateral damage
