On a related note, why is it that everyone in that part of the world seems to want everyone else dead? Or is it that muslims just arent happy unless they're killing someone?

I rely on you high speed low drag gold or silver oakleaf sporting type fellows for these sorts of answers, as they are far beyond this PFC's(proud fukkin Civilian) comprehension.
No, its more that poor people like killing eachother till they can get rich. Plus, if you were Kurdish, and you'd been through what many of them have, you'd be pretty fricken mad too. And I'm quite sure you know it.
As for the three options this fool puts forward, I'm for escalation, in all four cases. More troops in Iraq and A-stan, taking the pressure off inexperienced parts of the Indigenous Forces until they're ready. Better managed reconstruction handled by the Military instead of these idiot contractors. In Afghanistan continued, or more to the point, unrelenting pressure on the Taliban. In Iraq, more and more troops to privide as much security as possible. As for Iran, try to lay some sanctions down on them, although in reality I'd see them of less of a threat than North Korea. For the NKs, try Air Strikes.
