Before I decided to get a somewhat practical science education I was a
history major and I cannot remember the policy of appeasement EVER working
to establish a lasting peace anytime in human history. As I recall it only
led to further aggression.

There is only one method that has ever worked to ensure lasting peace.

The Romans called it "Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum."

A slightly different way of saying it.

The problem with that plan is only two of the three regions have any natural
resources and the group without any resources (besides sand) is where the
terrorists are all located.

The Kurds, Sunni, and Shiites have hated one another for over a thousand
years and nothing we could do will ever change that.

Worse thing is that there aren't all that many Jeeps there, the terrorists
prefer Toyota mini pickups.

The problem with that plan is only two of the three regions have any natural
resources and the group without any resources (besides sand) is where the
terrorists are all located.

The Kurds, Sunni, and Shiites have hated one another for over a thousand
years and nothing we could do will ever change that.

Worse thing is that there aren't all that many Jeeps there, the terrorists
prefer Toyota mini pickups.

I like the trucks the contractors drive in Iraq:

Makes me want to put a mount for a .50 cal over the rear seat of my Jeep :)
