I'm afraid most of what you posted is wishful thinking. It could only happen if the Control Freaks in Charge have a "on the road to Damascus" moment, and see the world as it truly is, and submerge their vast egos in favor of the national interest. Highly unlikely.
No, far more plausible is that, up till the moment of total disaster and defeat, they will keep saying, "Send another division in......I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...." And calling us traitors and defeatists, when we point out the massive dissonance between their rhetoric and reality.
<... there is a responsiblity that's been incurred here...>
Yes, there has, a crime has been committed, but no amount of further meddling can put it right. The debt will never be paid, All the King's men cannot put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Everything we do, just creates more chaos. In Vietnam, there was Order and Peace, but only after the last American helicopter left the embassy at soon-to-be-Ho Chi Minh City. |
