George:

I hate being negative, but I don't see how we can win - it will be a terrible tragedy if we bring about a lot of death and destruction, destabilize the region, and ruin our own economy... But, we could also become victims of our own success if there are few casualties and the regime change is easily accomplished. I'm afraid it will just encourage them to go on to the next worthy cause...
