Where we disagree is that, for Iraq, you think we can "win" or "finish" as if there's some discrete objective that's preventing victory and we just need to kill it. There is no finish or win in this case because there's nothing discrete to kill. Think of an alcoholic: You can give them money, support, love, security, shelter, et al - and all of that won't do a thing until they decide they're going to quit drinking. Iraq is an alcoholic; they've been drinking for 1500 years and they don't want to quit. Essentially they've been in a crappy rehab facility for 30 years. We swooped in and rescued them from rehab thinking they'd happily become productive citizens. But they don't want too, they want to drink. And now they're asking us to get out of their lives. I say we take their advice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
