He is correct, it will take years and could quite possibly turn into another USSR vs Afghanistan episode before anything is resolved in Iraq.

Well since unlike the USSR we are not trying to invade and make Iraq part of the USA, I am pretty sure we won't be facing the same kinds of things the USSR did. I think the State Department is making a mess of things currently but eventually they will get a stable and acceptable governing body in place over there.
As for "Six gun diplomacy" it sure as hell beats laying down and saying "please screw me and my wife and kids too". I think the US has historicly done better with forceful "macho" type guys in the front office.. like Reagan, Kennedy, Roosevelt's. The wussified Carters, Clintons and others have always ended up with very bad results for this country.
Yeah, I prefer a "MAN" in the office rather than a sensitive touchy feely type any day.
Im not trying to offend anyone who identifies them selves as touchy feely type men. It is just a preference I have.
