I'd like to see a peace in Iraq. I don't see us ''Winning''so much as achieving that objective. I hope this is happening. Meanwhile we are spending at a disasterous rate. We could win the objective and still come out worse than we started.
Some however are doing quite well right now. Some. I would agree that if it appears to be working, we should keep it up. Petraeus is no dummy. Still, a successful conclusion to an abortion is nothing to cheer about. But it would help to justify the bloody mess.
From where I stand, a successful conclusion would be great. What follows that is even more important. Namely the United States presenting a new face to the world. This old stuff may work for Americans, but it is getting old to the world. And then there is the problem of enemies earned and compounded. Of course if you say we are not responsible, that could be a stance. But with responsibility comes accountability and solutions that do not require others to change to our will.
It would take a real , world class leader to do that. See any ?
