I have no axes to grind here, but this isn't about high ground. This is about the lives of our kids. We cannot continue to spend the human capital of hundreds or thousands of young Americans over there, when we have no chance of changing the mindset of the general population. I do not see a viable solution now, and I don't see one on the horizon either, so my point is, let's either win ugly or withdraw.
What is your solution?
