One of the things I said until I was told to stop talking was that if we committed to keeping the lights on, the water clean, the markets safe, and the schools open, we'd own the mothers of Iraq. Once we owned the mothers, we'd own the fathers. Once we owned the fathers, we'd have access to everything the local businessmen knew about comings and goings of people who didn't belong in the neighborhood. Once we knew what was happening in the neighborhood, we could guarantee security and effectively own the place. It's no coincidence that the enemy consistently attacked markets full of women and children.
