My Iraq Policy
The Republican election loss is causing a serious re-evaluation of American policy in Iraq and the war in general.
The main problem with Iraq isn't just the problems in and around Iraq - it is the problems in and around the United States and the Western powers that joined the United States in the war there.Here is my war fighting policy. First we accept that this is a long struggle similar to our fight with the USSR. Victory or defeat will take many decades. So what to do?
How about - we hang on in Iraq until rubbing shoulders with Americans starts having greater influence on the country.
More electricity, more internet, more sattelite TV, more cell phones, more time.
That is my policy.

Spengler of the Asia Times argues that Radical Islam is a reaction to the decline of traditional Muslim society, with an attendant decline in fertility. Modernization, especially literacy, is the existential threat they are fighting against.
I discussed the Spengler article at:
Jihadis Sell Out
