pragmatismo

We face in Iraq, like we did in Vietnam, an enemy who refuses to play by our rules and is clearly willing to die for his beliefs. Before we finished in Vietnam, we had dropped more bombs on Indochina than had been dropped on the remainder of the world in all the wars to that time. The U.S. military continues to believe in the might of firepower. But it also wrestles with the difficult task of establishing the appropriate balance between winning hearts and minds with aid and reconstruction and using force to root out insurgents. In Iraq, we have moved from „shock and awe‰ to building schools and hosting soccer games. We‚re now back to block-to-block searches of cordoned cities. [ SORRY, MR. PRESIDENT, BUT IRAQ LOOKS A LOT LIKE VIETNAM Ronald Bruce St John FPIF]
