re: #192 Targetpractice

And then what, Tom? We “win,” and then what? Unless we’re committed to yet another prolonged occupation, all we’ve really done is killed a lot of people, blown up a lot of buildings, and snuffed out any hope for a pro-West movement one day taking power. You will have killed any hope of a liberalization of Iran for a generation, if not longer.

The one question I asked every single person who supported the Iraq war was this: what is a win? What does it look like?

Not one person could answer that. The best they could do was sputter and try to change the subject. Then I asked the follow-up question: so why are we there? More sputter.
