Noone there will admit that the War on Terror is about a worldwide network of terror cells and never had anything to do with regime change in Iraq.

Also, that as far as terror and insurgency go, the French ended up giving up in Algeria and that violence in Northern Ireland has been ongoing for 80 years.

In most cases, occupation caused more violence instead of helping to quell it.
