If we had followed it we would have few troops right now in the Middle East, 1000's of soldiers still alive and 10's of thousands physically and mentally healthy, public coffers in much better shape, and the world would be appreciably a better place. We would have had to reinstitute the draft I suspect. You seem to be under the impression the level of violence is lower when you have a lot of troops. It doesn't work that way. More troops, more deaths. It may (or may not) enable you to win the war more quickly. What Obama is doing right now is certainly in no way compliant with the Powell Doctrine requiring "overwhelming force". I believe Bush would have more troops in Afg. now than Obama does.
