World War II ended in 1945, in case Left Wing school teachers failed to teach you that fact. My point: There has been a significant American Military presence still in Germany and Japan for a war that ended 63 years ago. The Communist Chinese came to the aid of a collapsing North Korea during the Korean War and battled America to a stalemate dividing Korea into North and South Korea. In 1953 hostilities ended between North and South Korea. There is still an American Military presence in South Korea. That is 55 years after hostilities ended between North and South Korea.</span></p>

If the initial strategy was comparable to the current “Surge” then the implementation of civil administration would probably be more assured today. It may have alienated both Sunni and Shia factions initially; however without terrorist enclaves the Mohammedan understanding of power would have pacified violent opposition to American occupation and allowed time to build a new Iraqi political infrastructure. Admittedly the new infrastructure would not resemble Western Democracy. It would probably resemble more a democratic republican oligarchy in which tribes and clerics managed a system based on Mohammedan culture (hopefully not a total reliance on Sharia Law).</span></span></p>
