Follow this through. We have a history of misstating what our conflicts are. I would say that what we did in Vietnam was a war, and what we are attempting to do in Iraq is a police action. It was a war, the first time we went over there, for about 23 days it was a war, then it was about the removal of a genocidal dictator. OK, mission accomplished. But the reality is that we are using soldiers to do the jobs of police. I came to the realization that what they are fighting is a series of inner-city street gangs with explosives. They are not hugely organized or united, except in their objection to us being there. They are warring amongst themselves.
