"You think? Well under way? If the plan was to topple Iraq, Iran and Syria by force, I think the extreme difficulty of maintaining Iraq, and even Afghanistan to a degree, has pretty much made it clear this is as far as we can go. "

Its as far as any reasonable person should go at one time - that I will agree with...

Though I would say its farther then one should have gone at one time. We all have fought multi-front wars before and know what happens. Least when we do it, its a game and no one dies, is maimed, or suffers.

Also to a point made earlier... I think this community is really something else. Everyone has been able to express their opinion respectfully and intelligently discussed their views without burnning up the Boards. I just think that is something else and while I think that should be the norm, the reality is - its not the norm. I am pleased and grateful that I have found one place that is intelligent, reasonable, and respectful.

Hats off to all

PS just re-read and what I meant is about fighting multi-front wars is that we are all war gamers and strat buffs. We know what happens through resource drain, logistics nightmare, and increased causalties in our games when we fight on more then one front in our games. Not saying that all of us know what it means to be actually in the foxhole but you have the same problems in the real world as the strat games - only worse.
