There is another side of the question - could the U.S., or anyone for that matter, end another major war? With the relative success of guerilla action (and widespread media coverage of it) in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, I wonder if we'll ever see a war again that has a traditional "ending point". I would think that there are too many individuals in a country or even outside of that country (as in Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups) that are willing to act in ways that would prevent a new equilibrium (peace) from establishing itself. Is it possible that the current state of affairs in places like Israel, Iraq, India, and Pakistan reflect a new trend in societies - and further, that it is only a matter of time until this level of stable chaos reaches countries such as the U.S., U.K., France, and Australia?
