What a great question. In order to win this war -the hearts and minds of the people must be won over. Presently, there has been NO EFFORT whatsoever to do this (unless you count killing random innocents).
One of the most effective ways to win people over is to get them jobs.
Presently, Iraqis are not included in their own reconstruction. This "reconstruction" is a shell game with massive amounts of money going to Bush/Cheney connected contractors -not to mention the outright looting of Iraq's national resources. The Iraqis can see this
One question we should ask is - "Is it too late?" If you read the
international opinion polls -our present "course" is creating terrorists for years to come. Somehow, America should at least look like we're making nice.
