It is precisely what happened after World War II, and on numerous other occasions. Anyway, it was an allusive way of making a sound point: the people on the ground will determine the future of the country. We will do our best to encourage a good outcome, but unless we are prepared to occupy the country and force it conform to our desires, which we are not, there is a limitation to our ability to control events. In the case of Iraq, there was no support internationally or in the United States Congress to march on Baghdad. This is a different situation. We are in a position to dismantle whatever we want, not that there is much, and, in any event, we will destroy, as much as possible, al Quaeda.
