Scott,
The war was far easier than i believed. Pacification is proving to be a far more difficult task. The real question is where we go from here.
Personally i think we need help from our allies. And from what i am hearing some of our allies are willing to kiss and makeup.
The larger war against terror must be won and iraq now is the focus of that war. We can argue preemption/neocon stuff forever but it does not help us here. My belief is that our allies will come onboard realizing the danger of "losing iraq" to the terrorists. For our allies after all its mostly about oil too.
Will all allies and the bush have the same world view? Probably not but common sense tells us that the greatest enemy to peace is not the Bush admin(as some on this thread have actually said) but the terrorists whether al quaeda or palestinian or iranian based. And you cant beat those scumbags with plowshares, at least not until you have killed enough of them. Mike
