Commentary's Contentions has been the site for several good exchanges between specialists regarding Iraq and historical precedents. The first was Victor Davis Hanson and Max Boot and now Arthur Herman and Max Boot. I'll dig up the VDH/Boot exchange next. But first, Herman submitted an article in Commentary comparing the experience of the French in Algeiers in the late '50's with our experience in Iraq and the lessons we could learn. Max Boot offers his qualified agreement and then Herman responds.
UPDATE: Here are the letters between VDH and Max Boot, from the first of the year, on Iraq and the "surge". Apparently it starts with Boot. All the letters appears linked at the bottom of each letter.
Boot 1 & Hanson 1, Boot 2 & Hanson 2, Boot 3 & Hanson 3, Boot 4 & Hanson 4
