Pentagon: 3 Months in Iraq Cost $14B

I don't think this is the end at all. The problem has never been one man, be it Saddam or bin Laden. It's a cultural mindset. East vs. West. There are a million little Iraqi boys and young men ready to be the next "Saddam."

It will take years of diplomacy, cultural partnership and assimiliation to show the Iraqi public that we are not the Enemy we're purported to be.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think the gov/t will take the short-sighted position and think this is over, and 5, 10 years down the road, we chasin' another "dictator" over the same bullisht.
