I agree with you.

IN the future, we should only fight wars that present no real challenges. If we can flatten the region from the air in Clintonesque manner that's okay. But in areas that are more challenging, stay away.

This is why I'm so attracted to knocking out Iran right away. We can sit in the Gulf an lob one cruise missile after another without stepping foot in the country.

I think in the future, no war should be prosecuted that requires ground troops or presents difficult challenges. If you can slam them from the air, though, it is no problem.

absolutely and we were already talking federalism or even confederalism to address these issue. Did you know india has the largest moslem population in the world and hindus and moslems get along for the most part. Shiaa/sunni differences in iraq were/are not insoluble. But if it was, you would end up with a three state solution which if done professionally wouldnt have been a disaster and would certainly be better than saddam.
