"The McCain approach...unfortunately it'll take a couple of generations to get these folks to forget their differences. Look at ireland."

Or even longer. The status quo can't change until there is some economic development, and that won't happen very quickly with the chaos. So it would be rebuild a little, protect it as well as we can, rebuild a little more, oops they nailed some earlier improvements, etc.

You guys are forgetting about the oil. There would not be nearly the fighting there is now if Iraq wasn't sitting on the second largest oil reserves in the world. The prize is a big one.....worth all the killing in their eyes.

"This is the Murtha solution. Get out of the way, stay in the region to make sure that the fight is not influenced by outsiders to the extent possible, and let them fight it out until they are tired."

I say get out of the way. A million troops on the ground won't keep people from fighting if they want to........not in a democracy. That works only in a dictatorship.
