Fallujah should be just a bad memory and so should Ramadi.
The major lesson of the Iraq war is our country and leadership cannot foresee the consequences of any war with the middle east countries with sufficient accuracy to be attempting to micromanage the geopolitics of those countries.
How they see the world is thru the eyes of Islam and that which their leaders dictate they see and believe alone....so there can never be more than conflict between us. No amount of effort on our part will change the trajectory the Muslim Nations live and die by.
That said...we continue to be used by Muslim Leaders because they are well versed at doing just that among their own...centuries they’ve practiced and perfected deception among themselves..it IS their way of life and perfectly acceptable for them. So how can any negotiations/agreements or wars ever accomplish more than a stall to their ultimate agenda of Islam (Political and otherwise) Dominance over the world? as that agenda will never change.
As long as we let them live and procreate in our own countries..the Islamic push for Dominance will continue....War or not the push continues unabated.
