"When the original plan is flawed, it's near impossible for a war to bring any good. But we added even more mistakes, and continue to add more mistakes. It's the worst policy train wreck in US history, including Vietnam (although Nam cost many more lives)."

well said. US has the same problems as the israelis. War is ugly and as much as one tries to limit civilian deaths, they still occur in numbers that delegitimize the operation in the first place. What is needed is resolve to use overwhelming force without overconcern for civilian casualties in major situations. That will at least provide deterrent value. But along side that, you have to be more willing to talk to the bad actors. Thats why this neocon, pro-israel, america second sob (according to chris parsons) supported carters initiative with hamas. And i have proposed talking to iran for the longest time because US and Iran have some common interests that can be the basis for peace. Same with israel/syria peace talks.
