A question about Iraq

Please define victory in Iraq? Is this a unfair question?

It is not an accurate question because Iraq is only part of the larger picture. Victory will not just be a stable democratic government in Iraq, but also a situation where no nation dares harbour and support terrorists. If you only kill the rats in one buiding in a block but don't attend to the other buildings in the neighborhood, they'll be back real soon. And even when you clear the neighborhood, as the adage goes, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

He asked whether the question is fair, not whether it makes you uncomfortable.

[BluffTHIS!]

I did answer based on the fairness of the question because it isn't fair to try to separate out a part of an overall issue that is part of an integral whole.
