<<Step one is recognise the depth and breadth of the mistake>>
Step 2 is to forget about step 1 and realize that our 'mistake' has freed 23mm Iraqis from decades of tyranny and has established a base for a democratically oriented government in the ME
But am glad you recognize that the past is finished.
We are there and will stay while needed.
Its not a Viet-Nam, nor WW111.
The enemy has no tanks, no choppers,no army, no howitzers.
And his suicide bombers are suffering 100% casualties.
It just takes time, for the general populous to recognize their present enemy is not the US but people from their own ranks.
That becomes clearer each day, and when it is universally
known the Iraqis will come up with the answers, and apply their own police or troops to handle the problems.
We still get some blame, as it is common to put the blame for any problems on strangers in the region, but the light is dawning that we cannot fix all their internal dissentions.
If any opposition group gets organized or concentrated they will be doomed.
