#2 Security in Iraq is still an intractable problem, and the recent attack against the Golden Domed shrine there aggravates the situation.

But I think the recent events involving the Palestinians reinforces why this new strategy deserved to be tried - because in that part of the world the worst elements must be resisted at all costs. Even though I have not seen any polls confirming this, I believe that many of my fellow citizens have followed the coverage of the internecine warfare in the Gaza strip and drawn the same conclusion. This dose of unfiltered reality may just help to counteract some of the antiwar propaganda directed toward the American people and improve the chance that the mission can be accomplished.

That is my hope, in any case.
