That is what Bush and some others think.

Maybe the people who keep sending soldiers to solve problems can state examples of when it turned out for the better and the did win 'Win Hearts And Minds'.

Thinking back I can't think of any. Must be some, so GFY historians educate us.

The actual policy of befriending and supporting a nation hated and reviled by so many others, is stupid. Think of it like a Jew, how do they feel about Nations who supported Hitlers Holocaust?

Look at the other side of the coin and get the Muslim perspective. The UN, largely influenced by the US, action of setting up Israel. Was a first step on a ladder to today's strife.
