sending 20K American troops into Baghdad and Anbar Province smack dab in the middle of a civil conflict that the sunnis and shiites of Iraq are bound and determined to get into.
That would be an idiotic thing to do, in my opinion, even if every democrat from the dawn of time thought otherwise.
germany was a civil war....just one side did not have guns....we reinforced that....why do the middleastern people mean so little to you?
also....
there is not a civil war amongst the people .... there is religous killing and ethnic cleansing among two of the three relgious groups like ireland, bosnia, darfur and rawanda....there are mercenaries from outside the country fighting agianst the west...same people that blew up the cole wtc. madrid, london bali nigeria, somalia etc.... and then there is the gurellia war that the bathists are waging aginst the coalition military.
I;m just not excited about having to compete with a new slave labor resource in the mideast, though it may be good for your portfolio.
Civil wars are often based on religion and ethnicity. Using different words doesn't change reality. You know that, right?

That isn't a strategy .... it's an assumption. Whether or not 20K more military personnel will make a difference will depend on how they are deployed.
You assume automatically they will be deployed in some useless manner. There is new leadership, and supposedly different tactics going to be used, according to what is being said.
