I hope Ms Kagan is right, but while I don't doubt our surge might have some temporary effect in a few places, I don't think it can work long term. It will work where we surge for as long as we are surging, and where we are not surging (and we can't surge everywhere, we simply don't have the troops) violence will reemerge. I don't know what Mr. Bush thinks will happen after we stop. The country is in much worse shape now, and many of it's educated people have left. The surge isn't going to cure this. The only thing the surge can do is tamp down the violence for a while, but I see no evidence that anything is being put in place to keep the violence down should the US stop using its military to suppress the violence. I think the reason Republicans now are turning negative on Iraq is they see it as a commitment without end- and frankly, they are right to worry about that.
