Personally, I don't think this "Nation Building" exercise in Iraq is going to work.  Some people just can't be civilized. 
That being said, it's important that we try our best there.  Then we can point to it as an example that nothing else will work when we turn most of the arab world into a bubbling mass of molten glass.
 
Screw with the U.S. and your great grandchildren will speak of the day that the skies grew black with U.S. bombers like the mother of all swarms of locust.  How the earth shook and the very air grew hotter than One Thousand Suns.  Of how the buildings were bombed into rocks, the rocks into rubble, the rubble into sand, and the sand into dust.  Of how the Americans swept across the desert firing endless rounds of ammunition at any soul unfortunate enough to have survived the bombing, and how just as quickly as they appeared, they then left.

This helicopter 'incident' and now the aftermath is taking ANY sympathy I had for ANY Muslim and turning it into dust. Moderates? Until they start condemning this crap, they are fodder for our cannons.

To hell with this "winning of hearts and minds" PC horsesh**. We need to win the fear and dread of the entire Muslim world, 'cause that's who we're fighting. Iran, Syria, Egypt, Saudi, Yemen, Turkey, all need to be absolutely flattened, like we did Germany and Japan. To hell with the UN outcry...they'd be so scared of us, they wouldn't dare do anyting more than talk. China and North Korea would then be told that unless they played ball, they'd be next on the a**-kicking block.

Of course, to do this, we'd have to have an administration and a citizenry that were determined to fight this war as a war, and a helluva lot bigger military. I don't think we'll get any of these any time soon.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Well, maybe we could try it out by taking the overwhelmingly Kurdish pro-American area north and east of the Tigris River and callingg it Kurdistan.

Next we could formet an overthrow of the dodderingg Mullah regime in Iran and help them form a secular Shiite state south and east of the Euphrates River.

Then, finally we could invite the Palestinians to come to what remained of central Iraq in the Sunni triangle, form their own state they've always been whining about-- a state with little or no oil, turn it over to the UN and-- first sign of terrorist or anti-American activity, turn it into a giant box of kitty litter.
