I don't like to talk about "winning the war", because there really was no "war" to win. We went into a stable country, removed its stable government, and then all hell broke loose. For a long while, I would have said that we should cut our losses like we did in Vietnam in 1972. I would have said that there's nothing to be won here and that there's no way to win it. Things can be very bad with our participation or without our participation. Might as well be without it. But now, it really seems like things are changing, for reasons that are entirely unclear to me. Do you really think that the US military presence can return a stable government to Iraq? Or is this just a pipe dream? Can it really be done? Is it possible? If so, then let's stay and finish the job...
