The War Is Over
The United States (excuse me, the "Coalition", er, the "Multinational Force") has lost:
"It makes me happy to watch the American tanks burn. My uncles are with the Mahdi Army, and I wish I could be one of them too." -- Imad, Age 14
"I like to watch them kill the Americans." -- Moussa, Age 10
It will never "pacify" Fallujah, or Najaf, or any other Iraqi city. It will never be able to keep the oil flowing. All it can do is bring more death, destruction, and instability.
Anybody else unable to get Husker Du's "Newest Industry" out of their head lately?
Factories left unattended, crumbling to the ground We tried to keep them running, but there's no more oil around We used it all to fight a war that neither side could win Vietnam was Little League compared to where we've been
