And George W. Bush will remain politely silent.

Yeah, but it probably was baked in by Bush's foolish vacillation about nation building and "sovereignty" versus crushing the enemy.

Bush was the one who weakly mused that if "a sovereign Iraq" wanted us to leave we would have to leave. Can you imagine Truman saying that about postwar Japan?

It's folly to think Iraq could be won. We set them up with a constitution based on Sharia. We made it worse for the remaining Christians. We pissed away a lot of our wealth on social improvements. Iraq is a folly. Always was and always will be. This one is Bush's fault.

The respectable way to treat Islamic nations who act against us is to sink their navies, bomb their airfields, and destroy their mechanized units all from the air. Use them as target practice. Don't spend anything on helping them to rebuild. Just weaken those in power so they have to fight for their lives against civil unrest. Let them kill each other off. In more extreme cases, give them the Carthage treatment.
