How about winning.
What is going on in Iraq was entirely predictable, and will continue
at some level as long as it is possible for Syria and Iran to
continue their support for the so called insurgency. Ultimately the
people of Iraq will have to step up and handle the day to day
security. And make it too uncomfortable for the insurgents to
survive. There are many signs that this is already happening, with
more and more citizens providing tips that are leading to the capture
of insurgents.
It is useful to look at the situation after WWII, if you want to talk
about the use of terror tactics to destabilize a new government.
There were many areas where the japanese kept fighting for years
after Japan surrendered. The same thing happened in Germany, where it
too about ten years to mop up the laggards.
And while we are at it..
What'e the exit strategy for Japan, Germany, Korea, The Dominican
Republic and Bosnia...
to name a few.
