Well, application of the correct amount of miltary force does work. Anyone who think otherwise hasn't been paying attention.
Anyone who is limited in their thinking that they think of miltary as limited to merely soldiers with a gun and supplies, is also not paiding attention.
The only way to solve Aghan and/or Iraq is with using miltary [and civilian security forces] to establish a secure environment. Anyone who doesn't understand that is missing everything.
