The Arabs create their own problems for themselves without any help from the
West.

The Soviet Union fell like a rotten apple because they could not keep up
with our defense expenditures under Reagan. Reagan got it exactly right and
you got it exactly wrong.

The Iraqi War was won from the beginning. What is going on now is merely a
mopping up operation. Our casualties are minimal. The solution of course is
for the Iraqis to take charge of their own security. All the US need do is
make sure that another Sadaam never emerges from there again. I think we
may have to stay there in force for about 5 years or so.
Another possible solution that occurs to me is that perhaps Iraq should
break up into three parts, a Kurdish north, a Sunni center and a Shia south.
The US would be the guarantor of all their security from any outside
interference.
