I heard a great line about Iraq a few months ago. "Don't expect Iraq to become Iowa. It will never be Iowa. It might become...New Jersey." Sadly, being from Jersey, I know what he means.

Most people in the world have a love/hate relationship with us. We pretty much saved Europe, first from the Nazis, then from Communism, and the still hate us, but so what. We are not there to win a popularity contest, but to stabilize the area. I can see this being accomplished, especially if people there believe we'll see it through instead of bailing the way we usually do.
