You can't know this. You only say this because you want us to lose. It is possible that the only way to win this war is the way we did it. No one knows anything for sure. More troops could have made it worse, caused more resentment. Taking more time on the diplomatic front, and postponing the invasion may have made it harder for us to conquer the country.
The question is the commitment to get the job done and get it done right. It may not be possible to secure a democratic, stable and violence free Iraq. But it is certainly possible that we can. But I can't see any reason why we shouldn't give it our best shot.
Creating a democratic and stable Iraq was a great cause. Something definitely worth shooting for. Right now we are faced with a decision of continuing to pursue that goal the best we can or give up. If we just took the attitude that failure is not an option our chances of success would increase exponentially.
