I'm slightly confused as to why we need to prop up our little puppet states in Iraq and Afghanistan with a conventional military occupation. Wouldn't an unconventional or low-intensity strategy (precision attacks by ground/carrier based air power or cruise missiles fired from submarines, together with special forces in country backed up with good intelligence) work better in the long term? Why have we gone to a high-intensity solution? What benefits (in terms of increasing our national security) has our strategy wrought that wouldn't be possible with something more low-key?
