I'm reminded of US Secretary of Defense, McNamara's lessons he learned from being involved in that quagmire.
'Even though the United States is the strongest nation in the world, it should never use that power unilaterally: "if we can't persuade nations with comparable values of the merit of our cause, we better reexamine our reasoning.'
He was talking about our mistake applying unilateral policy in Vietnam. We didn't apply his advice to Iraq and look where it got us.
