Mission Accomplished?

A few years ago aboard an aircraft carrier George Bush said to those assembled, "Mission Accomplished". Well, a few years and a number of deaths later, that mission is still just as dangerous and shows no signs of improving. I am sure that the enemy has not yet uttered the same or equivalent words. I wonder when the mission will really be accomplished. How many more U.S. casualties? How many years before the U.S. Government decides enough is enough? We have created more enemies than ever and the situation will never improve under the present circumstances. We toppled Saddam Hussein but that was the easy part. To install a democratic form of government in a country which has not known such an arrangement is a hopeless situation. What they could use is some sort of a "benevolent dictatorship".
