So yes, maybe if the Americans can secure this Shiite government, those sympathetic to Hezbollah will be better off.
Well, it might take some time so I hope your patience holds out. N. Korea only now wants peace with the south so...
What does N. and S. Korea have to do with this? Nothing. Apples and Oranges.

As far as "patience" goes, it's not about my patience. It's about the equipment that is wearing out, 3rd and 4th tours, longer deployments, and a cost of over $1 trillion dollars.

A Shiite government is not a victory for the U.S. or the region.

It doesn't matter what happens politicall inside Iraq IMO.
