..can someone bring a political settlement between Shiites and Sunnis so they can form a government that they both can agree to?
Can 100 GIs accomplish this? Can 1000? Can 140,000 in 4 years accomplish this? They have not yet so far. Why should anyone believe they can in the next month? Or the next 6 months? Or the next 10 years?
If Sunnis and Shiites have decided they cannot live together, American soldiers armed to the teeth are not going to convince them otherwise.
The solution to Iraq is not a military solution. It is a political solution.
