I think most of the 911 gang were middle class Saudis. These peasants in Fallujah are not threatening to invade us. They just want us to leave them alone. i just don't think nation building will work unless we send more troops and spends countless billions of dollars and more of our soldiers will still get killed. Just don't think it is worth it.

BTW, the Brits tried restructering Iraq from 1918 to the 1940's. They even fought a mini war as late as 1941. It didn't seem to do much good then either.

BTW, the Brits and the French tried restructering Germany from 1918 to 1935 when Hitler renounced the Versailles Treaty. It didn't seem to do much good then.

Maybe, in 1945, the U.S. should have learned from the failed British attempt, simply accepted that German retructering and denazification was impossible and simply made plans to have a German war in 1966, 1987, 2008 and every other 21 years after that.
