A small scale Vietnam...only minor differences are that in Vietnam they lost 40X that number and we lost the fight.

We WILL achieve our goals in Iraq. High probability that this action will place a free and "semi" democratic state on the border of Iran that along with similar changes in Afganistan/Pakistan will apply more pressure for broad reform in the mideast (Iran in particular) then ANY diplomatic action we could take.. No more mass murders, no more shelter for terrorists.

This will work people...unless we failed to learn the lesson on Vietnam, namely letting popular oppinion prohibit the military from doing what it needs to do to win.
