Subject: A consistent policy? Larry does West Point give classes in long-term occupations of foreign countries against the will of their citizens? Does it have guest lecturers in settling rifts between religions and their factions? Do generals have some special knowledge that would stop a repressed majority from seeking revenge after the ruling tyrants are overthrown? Are Arabic and Farsi part of the language requirements to graduate in our military colleges? Of course we don't want to demoralize our soldiers by bringing them home, when it's obvious that they are all thrilled to stay in Iraq to bring the Iraqis the same freedoms our other allies, such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, have.
