History suggests that our best chance for "success" in Iraq depends on redefining what we would consider a victory. As T. E. Lawrence famously described it, fighting rebels is "like eating soup with a knife." The Soviet Union killed more than a million people in Afghanistan, but never broke the will of the insurgents. "It is pretty clear that the coalition can win in Afghanistan and Iraq in one way or another, but it will be a long, hard slog." | |||
