Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "Such as? What was the exit plan when we defeated Japan and Germany? We still have forces there.. And the exit plan for Korea? We still have forces there."

These were (a) conflicts against very easy to locate enemy governments, rather than almost impossible to find collections of criminals, and (b) these conflicts were thrust upon us. We did not decide to attack Japan or Germany, they attacked or declared war on us. Same with Korea, it was the North Koreans that came over the border. By contrast the Iraq war, by Bush's own admission, was a "preemptive" war. Iraq had not attacked us. Just like we hadn't attacked Japan when they attacked us back in 1941. The day that we unashamedly called the "day that will live in infamy".
