Iraq, Islamic state?

If they vote for that we're the fools, we lose, some say we set up for democracy and they vote for Islamic state then it's ok,if Iraq stays a friend! But, I think it's not possible to be an Islamic state with all that ensues and be a friend, oil and water ! - sounds like our troops fought and died in vain. No nation building! Man, seems like a million years ago now. But I was, in the beginning against Nation Building. Then the evolution of events required compromise such as rebuilding Iraq with Their OIL money, When it was discovered the oil fields were in disarray - nothing - Who is paying for rebuilding now? Probably us, because you don't hear anything - If them, you'd hear it! I am going back to no nation building, go in, kick ass, get out, State depts view - winning hearts and minds is off limits with enemys - wack em hard with out large cumbersome armies which is outdated. High-tech/covert action is the only way. Once you get an army in country it's not so easy getting them out. The temptation is to occupy and thats expensive in men and material which is out of the question in the 21st century! If theres a big enough reason to nail anyone you needn't worry about being best buddies - hit em hard. Get their respect not their love!
