Scheer Says It All

...in a nutshell:

Some pundits and politicians, even those who may have been skeptical about the war to begin with, now argue that we must "finish the job," even if it means increasing our commitment of troops or ruling Iraq indefinitely. This is, however, exactly the kind of stubborn and mushy thinking that led us into the hell of the Vietnam War and the deaths of 58,000 Americans and more than 2 million Vietnamese and Cambodians.

We must help the Iraqis rebuild their nation, both financially and politically. There is no question of that. However, the occupation is proving more convincingly with each passing day that a military solution to this problem...is no solution at all.
