I think it's inevitable. I heard one conservative commentator masterfully pitch the whole mess as a positive thing, but a mission that will never, ever be accomplished. He then said that because of the difficulty we’ve seen, it’ll be a long time until US troops set foot in the middle east again. Which I highly doubt. I think there’s at least one other country our troops will see in the near future.
Think Iraq is a quagmire? Just wait ‘til Iran.
