What Is Victory In Iraq?
Victory to me would be a stable government where the rule of law reigns...


Similar to what occurred in Japan and West Germany... The fact that Iraq isn't remotely closely to being a stable liberal democratic government demonstrates what a folly this whole fiasco is...

As Edmund Burke said "men of intemperate minds can never be free..."

2. Iraqi people will never accept the legitimacy of a US occupation or US installed government. Why
would they? They weren't at war with us, and we came in and destroyed their country and killed tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of their people.
