but now the damage is done. Whether we pull out now or not, what will emerge from the conflict is ultimately going to be up to the Iraqis. America has failed to be a determining factor in the outcome. They're going to have to figure it out now themselves and decide if they want perpetual slaughter and mutual destruction, or a more productive peaceful co-existence. Same choice every nation on earth is now, or is about to be, in the process of facing - one way or another (seems like).

The world is changing fast...
