Hound, I agree with your two posts above… to… no after, a point. First, we rightfully invaded Iraq. Second we handily won the war. Then the political disaster came. The first disaster is the implementation of nation building using western ideology in an Islamo-Arabic culture (you are right). The next was Bremer, the John Macnamara of Iraqi Freedom (again, you are right). And, also that the Iraqi soldiers threw down their uniforms instead of their weapons… at that point, we should have handed the Iraqis the keys to the kingdom and said, “Have a nice day! Don’t bother to rebuild your country if you are going back into the WMD or terrorism businesses!”

PS: The nation building folly isn’t going to work in Afghanistan either. It does not take long dealing with Islamic ideology before you realize that they will smile and patiently enjoy the largesse of infidels... until you go away... and you will go away.
