After a certain period of very intense violence without concrete signs of a US withdrawal, the insurgency will start to lose steam and progress may be possible. I hope so anyway, as there's a good chance I'll get mixed up in the middle of it within the next year or two.

I dont think that people who try to resist an oppresor and liberate their country are tired that easily...

...their country has lost its independence and they are a nation with pride and history, they can fight for centuries and have done so before...

...a 'lets sit down and see how it goes policy' is too optimistic in my oppinion. Its a recipe for a new Vietnam.
