Is there anything the American military can do at this point to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people? Personally, I, as well as many Americans and Iraqis don't believe any reservoir of good will remains. As far as I'm concerned, this war of choice was immoral and ill conceived from the start and I don't believe the current escalation in troops can accomplish any good.
