This campaign was doomed from the start of the hearts-and-minds approach. The American people will not allow for a long war for such a perceived irrelevant goal. Bush took America's eye off the real war, the war of Islamic Conquest and fixed the peoples' focus on a long drawn out pacification campaign. It did not work in Viet Nam and it did not work in Iraq. Resurgent Islam is the enemy here and Bush's failure of perception in Iraq will lead to a much bloodier and economically damaging war with Iran or to Sharia in New York.
