What Bush should also have done..
is to learn history.
We are not in 1941 nor even in 1964 anymore.
Mistakes have been done and countless of times, wars have shown their ugly face. And yet, he chose war.
One major thing wars have tought us is that occupation is so badly experienced by those who are occupied, they're ready to ally themselves with anybody to kick the occupant out. And they are far more motivated than the occupier.
During WW2, the best organized resistance movements in France, were not the pro De Gaulle, but the Communists. They were allies.
