A military victory is not going to bring peace to the Middle East. What is going on there is based on the religious beliefs in those countries and they will fight, as we would, if invaded by a foreign power.
There was some order in Iraq until we decided to overlook our First Gulf War victory and let cruise missiles and bunker busters delude us into becoming the Global Police Force.
Anybody wonder why China doesn't have problems dealing with these same Middle Eastern countries? It ain't cruise missiles and boots on the ground.
