Violence and force has a way of upsetting the givers and receivers... however, military force will go a long way in assuring the combatants and citizens that should they ever wish to make nice, somebody will be guarding the door.
The army wins wars. After the war it's won by the people.
things are starting to take shape, however only time will tell.
So we have a snowballs chance in Iraq to win this BATTLE of Hearts and Minds.
No way, No how. Since we won't or can't use the force we have at our disposal it's time to get out while the gettings good.
