...your waist? It doesn't take a four-star general to see that the fanatical enemy simply has to sit back and wait. When we withdraw soldiers, the counterinsurgents and terrorists can resume their attacks. And if we ever completely pull out of Iraq, corruption and civil war will continue until the country inevitably becomes another Iran. Let's declare victory now and get the hell...
President George W. Bush rightfully invoked the fiasco that ensued after the U.S. pulled out of Vietnam. If we leave Iraq within the next year, there will be a civil war.

Simpson showed up at Galanter's office shortly after. "I actually came back one day and he was sitting in my conference room," Galanter tells TIME...
...preconceived notions people have Lebanon," said Ramzi Ghosn, who along with his older brother Sami founded Massaya, one of Lebanon's newer wine-makers, near the Bekaa town of Chtaura. The Ghosn brothers are part of the generation that left Lebanon during the country's brutal 15-year civil war, and who began returning in the 1990s to rebuild the country with skills they learned abroad. For Ramzi, who studied marketing in the United States, wine is a perfect vehicle for changing the perception that Lebanon is haven for religious fanaticism and terrorism.
