Frame Set

why do people say you cannot set a time frame on a war, when talking about Iraq?

I thought the War was over.. and that we are trying to rebuild now.. why can't we set a time frame on that?

I asked a question similar to this yesterday about how long people would be willing to occupy Iraq. Interesting range of answers. Several tried to compare our military presence in Japan, Germany and Korea. What they overlook with this comparison is the fact that we were not engaged in hot wars in these countries, but rather providing a military presence after hostilities had ended.

The simple fact is that we cannot continue a never-ending war. The Iraqis must take responsibility for their future security. We can provide an indefinite military presence if they do, but we cannot forever remain in the middle of a civil war. There is a difference between aiding a country and occupying it. If the violence in Iraq continues unabated we will be seen as occupiers and they will completely turn on us eventually in favor of any group that can end the violence and restore some form of normalcy to their lives even if it is oppressive in nature.

We cannot win this war if the people are not behind us. This is not a matter of military conquest because we can destroy almost any country we choose, but the political situation will never allow for the type of unrestricted warfare required. So what we are left is victory through a peaceful end to hostilities. While I hope we can achieve this, we cannot force it. Either the Iraqis take a stand against the violence themselves, or at some point we will be forced to abandon the cause. Anyone who denies this fact is deluding themselves.
