"The assumption that staying the course means winning. Thats an important lesson, i.e., that sometimes attempting to "stay the course" just means you're going to pay a higher price to discover that your power to dictate the lives of the people of another nation is very limited."

I am not a win/lose thinker, that is your assumption not mine. Apparently you also do not value the ideas of social evolution... toward liberal democracy and away from tyranny. You might take a little look at all the struggles against social injustice since the beginnings of recorded history. In one form or another noble human beings have fought and died successfully to move us forward in that struggle. Of course there have always been nay sayers too, so you don't have to worry about being unpopular.
