9. I believe we've lost the opportunity to make it work.

We had a narrow window of time to demonstrate that we weren't just another occupying army. That window is long gone.

Personally, I'm unconvinced that that this could have ever worked, even if we played it perfectly. We invaded their country, and killed thousands of their country-men, just during the first few days. Can you imagine what that feels like?

So, what do we do? We leave. All the lives spent are wasted. All the money, all the resources, all the international political relations. Waste.

So yes, I'm feeling a bit bitchy about that collosal waste.
