re: The Vietnam war eventually ended, didn't it?
It's not the case in the Middle-East!
Would any president rather remain at war for generations? Like Israel is?
Well, if it's only US soldiers, that wouldn't be anyone else's problem, would it?
The intersting thing, here, is that the other side of the war in Iraq is an unclear concept.
Lots of different, opposing factions, lots of different interests except for one: have the occupants gone.
It looks like sooner or later, even the definition of war in this case will have to eventually be questioned.
The reality of what is going on in Iraq will sooner or later come up.
