Ah, yes, well here is the typical totalitarian megalomaniac military solution to intractable messes like the War in Iraq:

1. Invade another country! Yes, this always works great for awhile. Why? It shifts the public's fickle attention to a new "evil enemy", a new outside threat, and a new glorious campaign that will provide easily discernable military victories! Those victories will make for very exciting media coverage, and will give everyone back home the impression that they are "winning" the war. (Hip! Hip! Hooray! and Hail to the Chief!).

2. It will be necessary to prepare the mind of the public by building paranoia and hatred of the new target country first. The new target country will, of course, be a place that is strategically valuable in some way....

3. It will be handy if the new country has a leader who can be easily recognized and demonized, so we can "save the World" from his evil plans! (scary, scary!) Hopefully, he will have facial hair, swarthy skin, and a bad reputation. If not, well, we'll think of something.

4. This method works great in the initial stages, but it tends to bog down after awhile, once the campaign has been won on the ground. Then it may, and probably will, become another Iraq/Afghanistan unresolvable conflict, in which case...

5. Return smartly to step (1) above and invade yet another country! Ha! Ha! Works like a charm.

(This is generally termed the "Hitler method to success and popularity" or "5 easy steps to World conquest and/or eternal damnation...just cross your fingers and hope for the best!)

Think Iran. Failing that, maybe North Korea. On an outside bet...well...how about Saudi Arabia or Syria? Or even Lybia? Venezuela? Cuba? Indonesia? Hell, this could become another Hundred Years War, given a little creative stirring of the pot.

And don't you feel a whole lot safer now? ;-)
