"leave Pegasus immediately and lock out the Stargate "
Seriously, we have 3 ZPMs total, I say put them all in Atlantis and fly the city back to Earth.
I voted to just get the flock out of there, too. But I agree with Brent: let's bring Atlantis--the entire city--back with us, as well. Just park that sucker in Chesapeake Bay.

It would solve our real estate slump in a hurry,wouldn't it?
But,returning to topic ,running is not an option,considering we kicked off the mess by waking the Wraith in the first place.
Yes,we didn't intend to wake the Wraith,and we have no gainful reason to stay in Pegasus besides Atlantis.
But wake the Wraith we did,and now we,and the Pegasus galaxy have to face responsibility for it.It would be genocide to condemn millions of innocent civilizations in Pegasus to extermination by our error-and then cut for home when we have the ability to fix it.
Yes ,the Wraith did win against the Ancients,and the whole strategic situation sucks,but if the Goa'ould could be defeated in 7 years ,the Wraith can be defeated,and without the moral complications that made fighting the Goa'ould so difficult.
Yeah,its gonna be hard ,but that's the price of responsibility.And we can't turn back from it.
