There is no doubt that the military action in Fallujah has damaged the capabilities of the insuregents. The problem is that this success is ephemeral. In a country of over 22 million people, you only need a small percentage willing to act as "insurgents." We are dealing with an enemy that has no clear front. Anyone we pass on the street anywhere in Iraq could be packing a belt of explosives. This was why the first George Bush wisely refrained from stepping into Iraq from Kuwait. Unfotunately, the sone failed to listen to the lessons of his father.
