> First of all, the underlying assumption here is that Iraq is "winnable" as a war.
Actually, the war is winnable. War as an instrument of love, peace, and democracy is where the problem is.
> Second, the objective of liberating a people that do not, on the whole, wish to be liberated, (at least by us), smells
Good luck on that one. I couldn't even convince some that meddling in European politics against their wishes is not the right thing. And here you are talking about people whom are not considered as human.
> Third, the concept that it would be "humiliating" to admit our mistake in Iraq is a travesty of everything that is best about the Christian religion that our leader espouses.
Carl, have they won you over into believing they are good God fearing Christians? If you do, you should not even be here. A flight to Switzerland or at least a bunker in Montana would be best.
> Fourth, it should now be evident to all that our war on terrorism is in severe danger of tumbling completely out of control.

> It's been a disaster so far, and it doesn't look like it's getting any better.
There you go losing faith in our great leaders. I'd say it is going exactly as planned. Sure it would have been better if this was 6-day war. But that is not a big obstacle. You should re-evaluate your premises. To some this is a failure of diplomacy. To others it is the triumph of antagonism.
